[news.eclipse.technology.emft] Re: getting started with compare

[laurent Goubet <laurent.goubet@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Azhar,

It all depends on what you want to do with EMF Compare :). If you simply 
want to compare models, getting started is easy : add the extension of 
the models you want to compare in Window => Preferences => General => 
Content types => EMF Compare and compare your files as you would 
normally (see 
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Comparing_XML_files_with_EMF_Compare ).

If you wish to call EMF Compare programmatically, the examples are 
indeed the good place to start, with the "standalone" example being the 
more concise as to "how to call for a comparison from code".

If you wish to develop patches/fixes for EMF Compare, take a look at 
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Setting_up_a_development_environment_for_EMF_Compare 
on how to set up your environment.

Hope this helps,
