Document the effects of jira.dev.mode

XMLWordPrintable

      NOTE: This suggestion is for JIRA Server. Using JIRA Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      Starting JIRA with -Djira.dev.mode=true changes some things that make it easier for plugin developers. These have long been known in the community but don't appear to be documented.

      The details are that JiraStartupChecklistContextListener.java has a method setJiraDevMode that does the following:

                  // turn off minification of web resources, available from plugins 2.3 onwards
            setDefault("atlassian.webresource.disable.minification", "true");

            // disable mail
            setDefault("atlassian.mail.senddisabled", "true");
            setDefault("jira.trackback.senddisabled", "true");
            setDefault("atlassian.mail.fetchdisabled", "true", "atlassian.mail.popdisabled");

            // disable caches
            setDefault("com.atlassian.gadgets.dashboard.ignoreCache", "true");
            setDefault("atlassian.disable.caches", "true");

            // turn on jelly
            setDefault(JELLY_SYSTEM_PROPERTY, "true");

            //jira dev mode should also set atlassian.dev.mode to true if it isn't already set!
            setDefault("atlassian.dev.mode", "true");

            // turn on i18n reload
            setDefault(JIRA_I18N_RELOADBUNDLES, "true");
