[news.eclipse.platform] Re: Compare Example

[laurent Goubet <laurent.goubet@xxxxxxx>]

Simon,

In EMF Compare, we chose to extend both 
org.eclipse.compare.structuremergeviewers (upper part, as you found out 
already) and org.eclipse.compare.contentmergeviewers (lower part) 
extension points. I think extending the latter is the only way of having 
your own custom viewer displayed for the lower right / left viewers of 
the compare viewer.

You could take a look at how we achieved this within 
org.eclipse.emf.compare.ui ...

Cheers,
