When i tried to create portlet

 /Desktop/LR/liferay-plugins-sdk-6.1.1/portlets$ ./create.sh newportlet "My New Portlet" 
   Buildfile: /home/sim/Desktop/LR/liferay-plugins-sdk-6.1.1/portlets/build.xml

The Plugins SDK is not getting stuck, but rather it is downloading all of the dependencies needed. The Plugins SDK needs several megabytes worth of jar files that it needs to build plugins. Notice when it appears 'stuck' its actually download jars into the /home/sim/Desktop/LR/liferay-plugins-sdk-6.1.1/.ivy/cache/ folder.

You should just let the process complete and then from now own the .ivy/cache folder will contain everything it needs and it wont have to download again.

Also you can share/copy that same .ivy/cache file into other folders in the future to save the download time.

As Gregory Amerson said on the official LifeRay forum thread, you can try downloading this file :

http://files.liferay.org.es/staged/public-files/liferay-ide/dependencies/files/ivy-cache.zip

You will have to unzip it and replace the .ivy folder in your liferay-plugins-sdk folder.

Hope this helps.

As you said, the SDK portlets are installed in

/home/sim/Desktop/LR

But for some reason the ivy-settings.xml is looked up in

/home/esingso/Desktop/LR

So some of your settings are inconsistent.

Most probably, this is caused by using multiple accounts, eg. like firing the ./create.sh command logged as 'esingso' instead of 'sim'
