diff files function via Eclipse plugin (Oxygen 7.2)

[ben_cotton@ml.com]

Hi,

I use the Oxygen 7.2 plugin for Eclipse. From the Eclipse plugin's "XML Tools" menu pull down there is no "diff XML files" menu item. In the non-plugin non-Eclipse Oxygen stand-alone version, this menu item is available.

Using the Oxygen 7.2 eclipse plugin, is there a way to *directly* invoke "diff XML files" without leaving Eclipse?

Thx,
Ben

Hello,

The oXygen Eclipse plugin does not provide XML diff support. To add diff support in the oXygen plugin we needed three way diff and that was not implemented and for XML it is not easy to extend from two way diff to three way diff. You can use a plugin that starts an external diff tool instead of the built-in Eclipse diff tool.
