Issue

  • Before, I was able to create a module project outside a Liferay workspace. However, now I see a warning that I need a Liferay workspace:

Environment

  • Liferay Developer Studio

Resolution

  • This is an intentional change implemented under LPS-110421. The reason for this change is that there wasn't a functionality difference between a workspace and a non-workspace project. Additionally, our Team has concluded that using a workspace will help clients with their deliverables.
