I installed XWiki 1.4.1 with tomcat and mysql. I followed http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Plugins/LucenePlugin to change the index directory. For example, xwiki.plugins.lucene.indexdir=D:/lucene . I changee the dir, saved xwiki.cfg and restarted xwiki. But the index still in the tomcat/ work/lucene. Then I tried first deleted the existing index folder and files in tomcat/work. Restarted again, XWiki created new lucene folder and index files in tomcat/work. I tried several different dirs, but all the results were same. Anyone could tell me why, am I missing something?

Hi What I found is that it usually created index files in xwiki.work.dir/lucene. When I changed xwiki.work.dir in xwiki.cfg, the index dir changed. The same on windows and linux.
