Diff tool
Purpose

The Eclipse distribution diff tool is a command line tool which compares two Eclipse based distributions and creates a report of the differences between them. It performs differences on the structure of class files, but not the contents of methods. This gives the user an idea of what changed structurally between two builds, without having to wade through source changes. Although the Eclipse distribution diff tool reads Eclipse distributions, it is not an Eclipse application.

Install
  • Download the tool diff-200302051910.zip.
