So my questions are : is it possible to use Oxygen Diff Files Tool from Author Component embedded in a third-party standalone Java application ? if yes, how to do this ? if no, why ?

Thank you for your answers.

Regards,
Vince

Hello Vince,

The Diff support is not available in the Author Component. The main reason for that is that it uses some third-party components that are incompatible with the Author Component licensing model. The Compare... action should not have been presented for the component so I will add an issue to remove it. Meanwhile you can also remove it yourself from the menu by using an ro.sync.ecss.extensions.api.component.PopupMenuCustomizer

Best regards,
Alex

Hi,

Is this licensing model changed on the oXygen version 18.0 now?

Hi Joerg,

The Diff support is still not available in the Author Component. Can you tell me more about your situation? Are you also embedding the Author component into a third-party standalone Java application? How would you use the Diff support?

Best regards,
Alex
