Re: [pde-dev] How to compare 2 files or 2 directories programatically?

Hi Rama,

Unfortunately, PDE is not in the business
of comparing files.  You might want to check with the Team/Compare
team (they are in the Platform component).  Their mailing list is
platform-team-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx.
 Someone on this mailing list might be able to offer suggestions,
but I think you might have better luck on the other mailing list.

Good luck,

Subject	[pde-dev] How to compare 2 files or 2 directories programatically?

Hi,

 I have to write some test cases where in which i have to compare 2 files.
 Since i use the feature "compare - each other" in eclipse very
much and i like
 it, i just want to use the same for this test case.

 I am going through the source for plugin "org.eclipse.compare"
but i couldn't able
 to find exact source to call this.

 What i want is an API (I don't want to use UI) where i can call something
like this:


RESULT  compareFiles(File file1, File file2) {
}

RESULT  compareDirectories(File dir1, File dir2) {
}

Thanks,
Rama
