I have an Eclipse plugin with a toc and some html file as integrated help. The index for search operation is not rebuilt when I change some of the HTML files.
I have even tried to prebuild the index as described here: https://help.eclipse.org/2019-09/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Fguide%2Fua_help_setup_preindex.htm
This is my Ant target:
<target name="build.index" description="Builds search index for the plug-in: com.marchesini.mas.rcp.help." if="eclipse.running">
<help.buildHelpIndex manifest="plugin.xml" destination="."/>
<help.buildHelpIndex manifest="plugin.xml" destination="nl/en_US"/>
</target>
The build seems to be succesfull, The locale is en_US, from config.ini. But when I search the index in the runtime it's not updated.
The only way I found to trigger the index rebuild is change the version number of the plugin as in https://stackoverflow.com/a/12033859/11643143. Is it really the only way to do it??
How to have automatically rebuilt on plugin deploy?
Thank you!

Having the index prebuilt is usefull for performance reason, but doesn't trigger the new index to be used by search engines!
