Unable to successfully deploy liferay portlet
<p>I have been following the tutorial in <a href="https://dev.liferay.com/develop/learning-paths/mvc/-/knowledge_base/6-2/writing-your-first-liferay-application" rel="nofollow">https://dev.liferay.com/develop/learning-paths/mvc/-/knowledge_base/6-2/writing-your-first-liferay-application</a> and built the portlet for liferay as described. I have a working liferay environment and can add and remove all of the standard portlets.</p>

<p>When trying to push the porlet that I've made to the server I can see that it has correctly deployed to the server. See log below.</p>

<pre><code>INFO: Deploying web application directory /Users/marc.thomas/Downloads/liferay/bundles/tomcat 7.0.62/webapps/guestbook-portlet

<p>I have put the full log and the code in my github account here: <a href="https://github.com/marcthomas2013/liferay-portlet" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/marcthomas2013/liferay-portlet</a></p>

<p>In this log there is no presence of liferay picking up the portlet and deploying it, even though it is deployed to tomcat.</p>

<p>I can't see what else I can check now. Can anyone help?</p>
