Liferay 6.1 ga2 CE: Custom portlet deploy succeeds but does not appear in the portal

I have searched for this problems few days now but can't seem to find the final solution.

The main problem is, that I deploy my portlet from the deploy folder of my tomcat directory, the .war file disappears and the portlet directory is created in the webapps folder. Now the tricky things start:

The log files of my tomcat shoot this lines: 

[pool-2-thread-2][HotDeployEvent:109] Plugin MyFirstPortlet-portlet requires portal-compat-hook
[pool-2-thread-2][HotDeployImpl:233] Queueing MyFirstPortlet-portlet for deploy because it is missing portal-compat-hook

But the startup console for my liferay is telling me the deployment was successful. All the files are created in the right directory.

I already deleted the files in the temp- and work-folder of my tomcat, undeployed the portlet and even updated my liferay-sdk, nothing works though.

Can anybody help me with this?

You may want to check, if your sdk is the same version as the liferay portal. See: liferay.com/de/community/forums/-/message_boards/message/… – FeinesFabi
yes it is and it doesn't work. – jannase94

In your plugin's docroot/WEB-INF/liferay-plugin-package.properties you'll find the entry

required-deployment-contexts=portal-compat-hook

This declares that your plugin requires the named plugin portal-compat-hook. Determine if you're really requiring this or delete it from that line, then redeploy.

As soon as you make the portal-compat-hook available to Liferay (or your appserver), it would actually deploy your plugin in Liferay and you can start using it.
