I'd like to compare two objects, say o1 and o2. Those objects contain an
EList<IMyObject>.
The compare is pretty difficult because the lists might be shuffled and
the object might change a lot.
In order for the diff ordering to be efficient I need rules to ensure that
two IMyObject are similar. Otherwise the diff algorithm will conclude with
a lot of additions and deletions in the list. So I need to precise what
makes two IMyObject similar or not. I already played with
ReferencesCheck#shouldBeIgnored(EReference) and
AttributesCheck#shouldBeIgnored(EAttribute) as you proposed but it's not
enough. I need to compute intermediate metrics and maybe to give some
attributes more importance than others.
Do you think this is something that fits in EMF Compare's framework ? How
can I do this ?
