Created attachment 286563 [details] example screenshot of diff.png Since bug 180756 the attributes are saved ordered by name (by using treemap). If i change a launch configuration which was saved before (like for example org.eclipse.team.tests.cvs.core/launchConfigurations/benchmark/Benchmark Test.launch) or manually add a attribute to the launch configuration then this results in a big diff. I suggest to instead keep the order in which it was saved/loaded. This could probably easy archived by using a LinkedHashMap instead. I'd like you to give feedback if you agree about this before developing a patch. Another "problem" is that the launchconfiguration automatically adds new attributes like <stringAttribute key="checked" value="[NONE]"/> or clearwslog which i did not touch. I would like the launchconfigration to only save values that have been either already been loaded from file or deviate from the default settings to keep the git history clean.

Jörg, you refer to bug 180756, but set the "version" to 4.21 - by mistake? Or do you see some regression in 4.21 (which is not released yet)? Also I'm not sure how do you get a big diff if everything is sorted? You only should have few lines sorted at right place? Or is the original version unsorted - but how do you get that one?
(In reply to Andrey Loskutov from comment #2) > Jörg, you refer to bug 180756, but set the "version" to 4.21 - by mistake? no regression. i just do not know the policy which version number should be set here so i just took the newest. The behaviour is very old. > Also I'm not sure how do you get a big diff if everything is sorted? Someone else checked it in unsorted. Either because he edited it manually or because it is from a time before the sorting was added.
