#384 Highlighting differences for comparing duplicates

[elwood151]

The duplicate search in JabRef is a very useful feature.
However, if there are many possible duplicates, comparing them in the dialog is quite painful, especially if entries are very detailed...

So it would be nice to be able to resize the window which compares both entries permanently (in my JabRef 2.2 it is opened with the original size for each new duplicate pair).

... and it would be a killer feature, if in this compare dialog, the differences between the two entries could be highlighted with a function like the unix DIFF command...

(It would be ideal, if this diff command could be applied to bibtex fields with the same name in both entries, even if their order would be different...)

Would it be possible to integrate that in future versions?

I'm still struggling with identifying duplicate entries in my databases and would find a diff function useful which shows the differences between the 2 entries e. g.highlighted in color.
