Description Veronika Irvine

2003-06-10 11:42:31 EDT

Eclipse 3.0 M1 and Eclipse 3.0 I200306100800

Tried Suse 8.2 and Windows XP

1) Select two java files in the Packages View
2) From the context menu select Compare With.
Note that the option "Each Other" is not enabled.

I use this Compare With Each Other feature all the time to check the 
consistency between platform implementations and to check the consistency 
between simlar components (such as TextTransfer versus RTFTransfer).  Without 
it I can not use Eclipse 3.0 - going back to 2.1.

Workaround: compare enclosing folders if possible. 
In this case "Compare With Each Other" is enabled.

Created attachment 5140 [details]
Exported Compare plugin

The attached Compare plugin fixes the problem.
Just unzip and drop it into the Eclipse 3.0 M1 plugins folder.

Or use the attached Compare plugin.
