Adding a Third Party Library's Capabilities to the Resolver's Capabilities

You can add your third party dependencies to the target platform’s default list of capabilities by listing them as provided modules.

1. Open your workspace’s root build.gradle file.

2. Add a code snippet similar to this:

   dependencies {
       providedModules group: "GROUP_ID", name: "NAME", version: "VERSION"
   }
   

   For example, if you wanted to add Google Guava as a provided module, it would look like this:

   dependencies {
       providedModules group: "com.google.guava", name: "guava", version: "23.0"
   }
   

This both provides the third party dependency to the resolver, and it downloads and includes it in your Liferay DXP bundle’s osgi/modules folder when you initialize it (e.g., blade server init).
