It is very annoying when comparing two java source trees, that all binary files in that tree are compared too. it would be great to support custom filters for compare, much like the filters in e.g. package explorer. using filters, it would be possible to only compare all .java files when comparing two trees.
Not for 2.1
what about 3.0 ? ? ?
so. whats up with an implementation in the 3.0 stream? this would dramatically improve the usability of the compare feature of eclipse!
have a look at meld (meld.sf.net). it provides predefined (customizeable) filters to filter added/removed items, modified items, backups (defined through file extension), cvs files, binaries (for example .class files!), and media files (gif,png,etc.)
first cut in HEAD. UI is on Compare pref page.
Fixed.
