Description Oyvind Harboe CLA 2005-11-02 13:04:10 EST 
Organize Imports will change the order of imports. This causes "compare noise",
making "Orgainze imports" less useful for larger projects which are stored in a
source repository.

I'd like to be able to tell Eclipse to "ignore refactorings", just as it is
possible to tell it to "ignore whitespace" when comparing. In this case Eclipse
would of course ignore ordering of imports. ;-)

We have started looking into this. But no promise for 3.2.

What are you looking into?

The specific issue of Organize Imports compare noise or refactoring compare
noise generally?

Filtering the refactoring noise.
