It really depends on the level you edited you dspace.cfg at (sorry if this seems confusing)...I'll give you a longwinded description of the build process, then tell you the simplier way to get your index built.
The build process has two stages 1.) Maven build cd [dspace-source]/dspace mvn package This builds the target distribution in [dspace-source]/dspace/target/dspace-1.5.2-SNAPSHOT-build.dir/ 2.) Ant install cd [dspace-source]/dspace/target/dspace-1.5.2-SNAPSHOT-build.dir/ ant update init_config <!--- critical to copy over the files This deploys the distribution in [dspace-source]/dspace/target/dspace-1.5.2-SNAPSHOT-build.dir/ to the [dspace] directory where everything is running from So, if you want to retain the dspace.cfg change you made in stage (1) you need to edit the dspace.cfg in [dspace-source]/dspace/conf/dspace.cfg. If you just make your change in [dspace-source/dspace/target/dspace-1/5/2-SNAPSHOT-build.dir/conf/dspace.cfg it may get overwritten if you ever run mvn package in sstage (1) again.. So now the easy way to update your indexes (just remember the above and add the same dspace.cfg changes in your original source dir if your maintaining them there). A.) Edit [dspace]/conf/dspace.cfg directly with the changes you want to your indexes. B.) execute [dspace]/bin/index-init to create (recreate) the browse indexes in your deployed instance.
