Liferay IDE / Developer Studio support for Quarterly Releases

Issue

• When importing a Quarterly Release workspace into Liferay Developer Studio 3.9.8:
  • Latest blade templates or Liferay versions will not be available for selection.
  • Contextual menus could be broken and this kind of errors could be raised:

    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: invalid version "2024.q1.5": non-numeric "q1"
    	at org.osgi.framework.Version.parseInt(Version.java:169)
    	at org.osgi.framework.Version.<init>(Version.java:130)
    	at com.liferay.ide.core.workspace.LiferayWorkspaceUtil.getLiferayWorkspaceProjectVersion(LiferayWorkspaceUtil.java:238)
    ...

Environment

• Liferay IDE / Liferay Developer Studio
• Quarterly Releases

Resolution

• Developer Studio 3.10.0 has been released, providing support for targeting the Liferay Quarterly Releases.
  • While you may still be able to use it, Developer Studio (3.9.8) is not officially compatible with Quarterly Releases.
• Any progress regarding Quarterly Release support for Developer Studio or other IDE tools like the intelliJ plugin, could be followed in LPD-17146
• If you still need an alternative, you can use Blade outside of the IDE. OSGi modules or client extensions does not require a dedicated development tool: Blade can generate project templates or samples.
