Issue

  • Is Github Copilot supported with Liferay IDE?

Environment

  • Liferay IDE / Liferay Developer Studio

Resolution

  • Liferay does not recommend or allow AI-generated code to land in their codebase. However, if someone likes to use Copilot or any other tool to generate the code that runs on their server, there would be a chance of risks that they need to evaluate at their end, and since this comes under third-party integration which falls beyond Liferay product support scope of work
  • GitHub CoPilot is a popular tool for developers to write code more quickly, but occasionally the code it was trained on shows through too much, which leads to larger sections of code being copied directly from open-source projects. For more information: Publication of the FSF-funded white papers on questions around Copilot — Free Software Foundation — Working together for free software
  • Therefore, the use of GitHub CoPilot specifically as well as other similar tools that generate code by copying from others’ code when it is unclear where the code came from, is by default prohibited in Liferay, because doing so could unintentionally result in a copyright violation.
