Maintaining Version Control in the Master Index Configuration Files

Whether you modify the XML files directly or configure the master index application through the Master Index Configuration Editor, be sure to maintain version control by checking files out before modifying them and checking them back in after you are finished. You can use any of NetBeans supported platforms for version control. When working with the Configuration Editor, make sure to check out each file that will be modified, either directly or indirectly. For example, if you add a new field to the object structure, add the field to the match string, and add the field to a blocking query, the Master Index Configuration Editor updates object.xml, query.xml, and mefa.xml.
