Dependency Management

For development using the Liferay Platform, update Liferay Workspace to use the  latest dependencies, by adding the following line to the build.gradle file:

dependencies {
	compileOnly group: "com.liferay.portal", name: "release.portal.api"
}

All portal dependencies are now defined with a single declaration. When using an IDE such as Eclipse or IntelliJ all apis are immediately available in autocomplete for immediate use.  

By setting a product info key property it will be possible to update all dependencies to a new version by updating the liferay.workspace.product property in the liferay workspace projects gradle.property file:

liferay.workspace.product = portal-7.4-ga14

When using an IDE such as Eclipse or IntelliJ all apis are immediately available in autocomplete for immediate use.

Business Fields Types

Users are now able to identify objects fields by their business friendly names (Date, Text, Relationships, Picklists, Numeric, etc.) and have a quick description of what they are used for. Also, this opens multiple possibilities for new out of the box fields.
