liferay-workspace

What problem does it solve?

Provides a concise, opinionated guide to initialize and maintain a Liferay Workspace so teams can avoid inconsistent Gradle configurations, misplaced environment overrides, and manual bundle edits during development and deployment.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Workspace initialization: Guidance for blade init and choosing the correct product/version for consistent bundles.
• Gradle properties & environment management: Recommended liferay.workspace.* settings and environment folder conventions (common, dev, docker, prod, uat).
• Build, deploy & distribution: How to run blade/Gradle commands for initBundle, deploy, start server, and create distributable bundles or Docker images.
• Use Case: Onboard a new Liferay module and produce reproducible dev and production builds while keeping environment-specific portal-ext.properties isolated under configs/.

Quick Start

Initialize a Liferay Workspace for a target product (for example dxp-2024.q4) with blade init, set liferay.workspace.environment=dev in gradle.properties, and add overrides under configs/dev and configs/prod to manage per-environment portal-ext.properties and OSGi configs.
