Service Builder will now automatically generate a reference to "com.liferay.counter.Counter" and "com.liferay.portal.Resource" because these two reference are almost always added.

For example:

<entity name="MyObject" local-service="true" remote-service="true">
...
<reference package-path="com.liferay.counter" entity="Counter" />
<reference package-path="com.liferay.portal" entity="Resource" />
<reference package-path="com.example" entity="Widget" />
</entity>

can now be simplified to:

<entity name="MyObject" local-service="true" remote-service="true">
...
<reference package-path="com.example" entity="Widget" />
</entity>

because the Counter and Resource reference will now automatically be added.
