Change Log

Service Name	Service Version	Ticket No.	Description
CI	5.3.0	LCD-38659	Add support for Client Extensions on PaaS
		LCD-40895	Add support to change JDK version via Environment Variable
		LCD-40896	Add JDK17 and JDK21 compatibility to CI build pipelines
		LCD-36037	Fix: Reduce default Jenkins Executors to fix OOM issues

Note  :

LCD-40896 Introduces JDK17 and JDK21 for use by customer’s DXP Cloud build (specifically the liferay service build portion). Existing JDK8 and JDK11 are still available.

Jenkins itself in version 5.3.0 still runs on JDK8

 

LCD-40895 Until now if a customer wanted to change the JDK for build pipelines from the default JDK8 to JDK11(or another JDK) they have to modify the gradle.properties in the liferay gradle workspace. Now customers will be able to do it by configuring the following Environment Variable to specify which JDK they want to use. 

"LCP_CI_GRADLE_JDK": "jdk11/jdk17/jdk21"

We recommend customers to stop using gradle.properties  and switch to using this environment variable instead. The older jdk paths will soon be deprecated.

 

LCD-36037 This reduces the default executors to 1 which means by default all build will be processed serially. If a customer wishes to increase the number they can do so by using the following environment variable
