    java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: SystemException

1. Added jars and hibernate mappings or configuration files to the project.
2. Checked build path for missing jars.
3. It is getting stuck when portal.properties and service.properties get deployed.
4. I am able to build service successfully and compile the portlet as well, it causes error when deploying on server.

Note that the class in question is SystemException , not com.liferay.portal.kernel.exception.SystemException . Most likely you've declared it somewhere without the necessary import statement, or just not fully qualified. Check your code for those occurrences.
