Using newly launched Liferay IDE 1.0

IDE is awesome , it rocks .I was able to configure the IDE by following the instructions on IDE release wiki Installation Guide, its easy to configure and if you have the resource downloaded you will be able to start developing portlets in no time.
Follow the getting started tutorial Getting started
Watch demos if you need some help around creating portlets rely on demo videos Portlet development video demo

Feature like auto deployment ,hot sync are very helpful changes are reflected as soon as a change is made in the code , gone are the days when you needed to redeploy manually .GUI based wizard options are available for selecting portlet mode and Liferay portlet mode, choose category for portlets choose file location resource location etc. Truly wonderful.
I haven't encountered any bug yet , I will update the post once I use more features and encounter bugs.
