Progress OpenEdge DevOps Framework 2.1 includes the following new feature:
  • Dependency management and resolution in OEDF—OpenEdge DevOps engineers can now efficiently manage the internal and external software dependencies of their ABL application using the automatic dependency resolution and management capability in the OpenEdge DevOps Framework gradle plugins.

    With this capability, you no longer need to use the traditional way of configuring the application dependencies at different places for builds or tests. Instead, you can now specify various dependencies required by your application, their path (public repository, private repository, local or network files system, and so on), and the scope of the dependency (compile or test) at one place. When a build or test script is executed, the dependencies are automatically fetched from the specified repositories and used for the associated compile or test activity.
