Liferay 7.4 development using SDK

SO I am getting back into portlet and service development using Liferay. I have Liferay Portal 7.4 up and running and the Eclipse Development Studio. Is there an SDK I need to download like older versions? When I try to develop a portlet, it asks for the SDK. Any help appreciated.

Installed 7.4 portal on linux - up and running. Eclipse Liferay studio - need Liferay SDK or whatever they require for 7.4

You have the option between Liferay Workspace (an opinionated gradle), pure gradle, or maven.

My recommendation is to go with Liferay Workspace. You can see a comparison of the three options in Liferay's blade samples. Though looking at it, the pure gradle option might be gone by now.

You mention Developer Studio: It should offer to create a Liferay Workspace. And then you'd create your modules in the workspace. You can also run your server from there.

As you're used to the older versions: If possible, go with the modularized features (e.g. OSGi based), or even better look up the new "Client Extensions", as they're a lot more lightweight and easier to maintain than server-slide plugins and the old WAR style plugins.
