After removing a customization from an Ext plugin, what is the recommended way to redeploy in a development environment?

The recommended way to redeploy after removing a customization from an Ext plugin is to start with a clean instance of the server and deploy all plugins. This approach ensures that you have a fresh environment without any lingering issues or cached configurations that may affect the updated customizations.

In a development environment, it is particularly important to ensure that the server does not retain any artifacts from previous deployments that could conflict with the new setup. By starting with a clean instance, you eliminate the risk of encountering unexpected behavior due to remnants of the previous plugin or configurations. This method also allows for a more straightforward debugging process, as you can accurately trace issues to their source without the complication of existing customizations.

Other approaches, such as redeploying the plugin or undeploying and then deploying an updated plugin, may not fully clear any cached data or temporary files that could impact how the system responds to the changes made. Similarly, redeploying all plugins and restarting the server may not provide the same level of assurance that the environment is completely refreshed, as certain residual data could still be present. Starting with a clean setup provides the best foundation for testing and development.
