The DD API documentation should more accurately describe the behavior in the case of concurrent editing. I.e. cases like: what happens if a client is using the API, and the deployment descriptor file is modified externally? Will the client be notified about this? How about if the file is modified in the IDE's editor, but these changes have not been written out to the disk yet? <br>Or, what will happen if the file was modified externally, but the resulting file is unparsable? If the file is modified programmatically through the API at the time when the file is unparseable, what will the behavior be?
New Section created : 12. Resolving Concurrency where use cases are listed and the solution described. http://web.netbeans.org/doc/ddapi_architecture.html#conc
