Deprecated Apps in 7.1: What to Do

During the development of any software product, it’s sometimes necessary to stop development on or remove outdated or unpopular features. Liferay DXP 7.1 is no different. Liferay has deprecated several apps in Liferay DXP 7.1. It’s important to note what, exactly, deprecated means here.

There are three types of deprecated apps:

  1. Deprecated apps that remain in Liferay DXP, but will be removed in a future release.

  2. Deprecated apps that have been removed from Liferay DXP, yet are still available for download via Liferay Marketplace or Liferay’s public Nexus repository. For instructions on installing apps, see the Managing Apps documentation.

  3. Deprecated apps that have been removed from Liferay DXP and aren’t available for download.
