Caching is on by default in most applications.

You can control caching as follows:

• Change the global default by setting the system property with key com.atlassian.gadgets.dashboard.ignoreCache to true or false.
• Change the caching setting on a single request, regardless of the system property setting, by adding the ignoreCache parameter to the URL, e.g. http://jira.example.com/jira/secure/DashboardV2.jspa?ignoreCache=false.

If caching is on (e.g. ignoreCache is false), your gadget specs and locale files will not update right away when they change.
