Installing new version of Extension doesn't reload plugin

Description

When I install a new server-level extension by dropping a lex file in the deploy folder and waiting for it to get processed, the new changes to any admin plugins don't show in the admin until I restart Lucee. It would save a lot of time if I didn't have to keep restarting Lucee every time I install the extension again.

The "develop mode" setting that was added for this ticket didn't actually solve the main purpose of the ticket. I may have been testing local development of an extension when I reported the ticket, but the fact still remains that when a normal person installs an extension and tries to use it, they still hit the same issue. A "develop mode" setting is worthless in that case. Lucee needs to actually be smart enough to reload when it needs to and not require some sort of develop mode flag. I can't tell my users that they need to put Lucee in "develop mode" just to install my extensions if they actually want to use them right away!

they often also don't appear sometime when installing via the web admin and requires this trick

Thanks for letting me know about the alwaysNew=1 trick. I'll try that the next time I run into this.

simply add alwaysNew=1 to the url then for the current session of the admin you are fine.
we could add a "develop mode" somewhere in the admin.
