Issue

After defining the liferay.workspace.bundle.url property in the gradle.properties file, running a Gradle Task to initialize the bundle fails with the following error:
```
Execution failed for task ':verifyBundle'.
> Invalid checksum for file '{liferay-bundle-file}'. 
Expected {checksum value} but got {another checksum value}.
```

Environment

Developer Studio

Resolution

When users specify a Liferay bundle URL through the liferay.workspace.bundle.url property, they also need to specify the checksum MD5 value for their bundle using the following property: liferay.workspace.bundle.checksum.md5 = {checksum value}
Users can identify the checksum MD5 value of their bundle using the following ways:
- Use the 'expected' checksum value noted in the error message
- Execute the following command after downloading the bundle: md5sum ${filename}
