[news.eclipse.tools] Re: Compare not enabled?

[Ken K <dev.null3@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

  I was going through the on-line tutorial. I selected two .txt files
in the Navigator, right clicked and picked Compare With -> Each Other.
Nothing shows in the Error Log view after I do this. Is there somewhere
else I should look for logs (I could not find a log file in my eclipse
directory)?

Thanks,

Ken
