This article describes how to have Liferay Portal undeploy and remove the previous version of the portlet before redeploying new version of the portlet.

Resolution

Liferay provides a portal.property to address this configuration:

# Set this to true to undeploy a plugin before deploying a new version. This
# property will only be used if the property "hot.undeploy.enabled" is set
# to true.
# hot.undeploy.on.redeploy=true
