Comments on: Java Compare Editor Enhancements, Eclipse Galileo Feature #10 http://eclipsesource.com/blogs/2009/06/16/eclipse35-my-top-10-list-number-10/ Eclipse Equinox OSGi Sun, 18 Jul 2010 08:59:03 +0200 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: John Newman http://eclipsesource.com/blogs/2009/06/16/eclipse35-my-top-10-list-number-10/comment-page-1/#comment-2614 John Newman Fri, 14 Aug 2009 18:43:01 +0000 http://eclipsesource.com/blogs/?p=1824#comment-2614 Wonderful, this is much needed as the compare editor is used so frequently. However it doesn't *look like you can double click the line number to set a breakpoint. This is one thing I really would love to see, since I usually need to debug the code I changed before checking in. I keep the synchronize view on the right to give me a quick view of what I changed. And it would be great if i could just work out of there since it gives such a good context around what I am doing. so are breakpoints from compare implemented? Really I think the compare editor should be the java editor but the right side has a button to go away and come back. and/or the java editor has a button to bring the repository version up in the right side. Anyone see what I am getting at? Wonderful, this is much needed as the compare editor is used so frequently.

For some reason the enhancements are only found when using Team Synchronizing perspective. When i compare two Java files in Java perspective (via. Compare with -> latest from repository), then the compare editor has no enhancements :( strange! best regards /Frank aargh, i finally found the enhancements in compare editor.

I really don’t know what’s involved with building these features into the compare editor while still supporting the compare functionality. If they could reuse existing code, I’m sure they did.

They will make our team more productive. One feature I wish was included is the ability to select a file from the top pane tree view (Structure Compare) and launch an edit pane for that file.

The Eclipse community uses Bugzilla for feature requests and voting: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/ Eclipse also now includes the Usage Data Collector (UDC), which sends usage pattern data to Eclipse for analysis so they know what to focus on for upcoming releases.

The enrichment of diff tools is something that the community has taken up after constant feedback on the same. Again, you can always debate based on your usage of the tools, but I am sure am looking forward to use this feature !! ~A Mattias,

I use this editor each time I commit code to CVS, update from CVS or create a patch. I'm interested, do you work in a team environment? Do you do regular code reviews? Do you watch what others are committing to the repository? How do you accomplish these things without the compare editor? (As someone who studied Computer Supported Collaborative Work (CSCW) I'm very interested in understanding different development models). Mattias,

Hove many time do I use this functionallity to be able to edit in diff mode. Perhaps 1 min every week. I can't emagine that the community haven't flagged for more important features, that of course hasn't been prioritized since this functionallity was implemented.
