Liferay projects building in wrong deploy folder

Question

Working with liferay and portlets from last 3 weeks.

I downloaded the bundled liferay server and placed it on my local drive. I did the set up and was able to access localhost:8080 properly.

I also created some custom portlets and when build them in eclipse the war files were getting deployed in the path C:/liferay/deploy.

Now, I changed the server location, I wanted to have the server in D:/ drive. When I did the transition, started the tomcat server from D:/liferay/tomcat/bin/startup.bat and then build the project, the war files are still building in c:/ drive.

When I copy the war file manually from c:/liferay/deploy to D:/liferay/deploy it gets deployed successfully. I want the war file to be created directly in the d:/liferay/deploy folder. Can someone help me understand what all changes do i need to do here?

If you are using Liferay plugin sdk then there would be file named as

build.<userid>.properties

in your plugin sdk.Change the below properties as per new configuration and give a try

app.server.portal.dir
app.server.lib.portal.dir
app.server.lib.global.dir 
app.server.deploy.dir
auto.deploy.dir
