How to deploy portlets to Liferay?

Question

I have faced problems in trying to install new portlets to Liferay running on Glassfish domain. I figured out the flow very lately and want to share it with others also. So,

Answer 1

There is several methods to deploy plugins (portlets, hooks, filters...) into your Liferay Portal.

If you're using Administration you can do it as Mico descripted. but if you're using Maven, Gradle, Ant, Ivi... you can configure their deployment descriptors and redirect their outputs (that are the wars) to the hotdeploy server folder (If you're using Tomcat, JBoss, Glassfish...).

This approach is quite better because you can create backup webapp folder and restore it whenever you want easily.
