I was very surprised that, even though I was using the text comparison feature of Eclipse to see the difference between a local file with a remote file in CVS, SVN, TFS, and other source control systems in Eclipse for more than 5 to 6 years, I had missed this important feature to compare two totally unrelated files. This search leads me to find the option I am going to share with you guys here. This leads me to find out how do I compare two files in Eclipse, it could be Java source files, text files, or simply. I would like to compare two files directly from Eclipse to avoid switching to another program for a simple task.Īctually, I have been using Beyond compare for a long time, but I have practicing to do every task ( which I can ) from Eclipse to save time by avoiding transition between multiple applications. Beyond compare is not even free, but to be frank it's worth money. diff command in UNIX, Win Merge, and Beyond compare in Windows, they are external tools.
Though there are a lot of good tools already exists to compare two files e.g. You would do this while comparing the same file from different release versions or from the different environments to find out exactly what has changed. One of the common tasks for every programmer is to compare two files and find out the difference between them.
