How to enable the dev plugin?

Blueriq's dev plugin is marked as a Spring Profile called development-tools.

To enable the dev plugin one needs to configure Blueriq Runtime as follows:
- make sure bootstrap.properties contains:

• spring.cloud.config.server.bootstrap=true --> this tells Blueriq to pick up the external configuration not from a config server but from the filesystem.

• spring.profiles.active=native --> "native" is one of Spring's predefined profiles that needs to be configured to be able to load the config files from the local classpath or file system

• spring.cloud.config.server.native.searchLocations=file:${spring.config.location:.} --> this setting tells Blueriq where config files can be found

- add the spring profile called 'dev' to the configuration:

• spring.profiles.active=native,development-tools --> this tell Blueriq to load the configuration that is specific for the dev plugin. The configuration itself can be found in application-development-tools.properties

Run Blueriq from the command line or in a batch file as follows:

java -jar blueriq-web-standalone.jar --spring.profiles.active=native,development-tools

In Eclipse:

- add the spring profile called dev to the VM arguments of the Run configuration:
         -Dspring.profiles.active=native,development-tools
