Are the IntelliJ instructions missing -Dairsonic.development=true?

I followed the instructions found here -> https://airsonic.github.io/docs/developer/intellij/, however the application would not start. Instead I got the following exception;

org.springframework.context.ApplicationContextException: Unable to start embedded container; nested exception is org.springframework.boot.context.embedded.EmbeddedServletContainerException: Unable to start embedded Tomcat

I was able to move past this error by setting the following system property;

-Dairsonic.development=true

Nope, it works fine without that property. I'd go back and check the instructions.

Works fine for me too without that instruction I guess? If you do find what was wrong without it let us know!
