possibility to disable plugin modules?

[Alex Perez]

Hello,

I'm developing a custom plugin with provides a set of reports, workflow-conditions, validators, listeners ... etc. Some of these modules are configured throug a properties file in JIRA_HOME, and it would be useful to reload some of them by disabling and enabling the module, not the whole plugin.

How can I mark a module (in atlassian-plugin.xml?) to have the Enable/Disable button in jira plugin interface?

If possible, how can I make a module disabled by default when installing a new version f the plugin?

Thanks

To your 1st question: I think all module types except component and component-import can be disabled and therefore have the Enable/Disable button visible. I don't know how to hide the Enable/Disable button.

To your 2nd question: You can disable a module by default in your atlassian-plugin.xml by adding state="disabled" to it. Some JIRA system plugins do that:

<web-panel key="show-whats-new-flag" name="Flag show what's new" location="atl.header" state="disabled">
    ...
</web-panel>

By default, all modules can be enabled or disabled from Admin interface. In order to keep them disabled, try using JiraPluginManager at startup.
