Creating Portlet In Liferay 7 DXP

To Create Portlet in liferay 7 DXP we must have a liferay workspace if we are using gradle as a build tool. If you are using maven as a build you don't need to have a liferay workspace. If you are not familiar on creating liferay workspace please refer my previous post Liferay 7 DXP Setup In Eclipse


Environment
Liferay IDE Milestone 3.0.1 M2
Liferay CE Portal Tomcat 7 GA3
JDK 8
MySql 5.7

Step 1 : Create Module Project

After creating a new liferay workspace right click on the liferay workspace created, in my case the workspace name is 'LiferayWorkspace' if you want to create a new portlet click on the 'New Liferay Module Project' option as shown in the below.

Step 2 : Select Project Template 

Give the Project Name, select build type as grade and project template as mvc-portlet then click next.

Step 3 : Provide Component Class Name and Package Name

Add the portlet to server using the 'Add and Remove' option. you can build and deploy the portlet module using the Gradle Task Tab available in eclipse as shown below.

Step 5 : Deploy The Portlet Module Using 'Gradle Tasks

You can build, deploy and clean the created modules using the 'Gradle Tasks' view in the eclipse as shown in the below image.
