Out of curiosity, what is wrong with Eclipse comparison editor?
Try Beyond Compare, and you'll never go back.
It's just more feature-rich, supports more file types, allows for comparison of entire trees of files, 3-way compare/merge, provides file/directory metadata (eg., for comparing binary files' sizes/dates), and inline file editing.
I still use the Eclipse compare editor on occasion, but BC3 is better, IMHO.
Hey Nick - we're addicted to Beyond Compare here as well. Is there any chance you could remove the dependency on the JDT for your plugin? The last time I looked it was literally one or two lines of code that used it (an instanceof in a couple getAdapter calls I think).
I have a locally-hacked copy of an older release that allows our users to install it on a platform-only Eclipse. Being able to install the real version of this very useful plugin would be cool.
Can you submit a patch to Chris?
I'll have to look at the latest code when I get a moment and create a better patch than the blatant hack I made locally (just ripped out the lines). I'm assuming you're looking for instances of IJavaElement for a reason.. ;)
Hi Mark,
I've looked into why BCVS depends on JDT, and there is actually no need for it. I just didn't realize it. I'll build a new version and put it online today.

Schweet! Thanks, guys!
Okay I've uploaded a new version (0.8.3) to sourceforge that doesn't depend on JDT. Thanks for pointing that out.

This new version also lets you choose which toolbar buttons to hide (e.g. hide the Putty and WinSCP buttons if you never use them).
As always, let me know of any problems and suggestions.
Chris
