[ JDiff-devel ] Good work!

[<Ste...@lr...>]

Mike,

I had occasion to test out your initial jDiff release to compare a couple of
Windows registry exports today. Very slick! It made the job much easier.

An enhancement request: How about integrating your jEdit gutter code to supply
line numbers?

Some thoughts re: console mode. Sounds like a good idea. Options like
"--console" and "--gui" (or perhaps "--nogui" and "--gui") to indicate the
desired mode seem reasonable. Having jDiff "remember" the last mode would
certainly be helpful. The only thing I would suggest NOT doing would be to have
GUI as the default mode and require the "--console" option for command line use,
as this would require more typing when using console mode (which seems backwards
to me).

Also, thanks for mentioning the Java getopt package. I wasn't aware of this
before. I think it could come in handy for a command-line file purge utility I
wrote a while back.

I'm looking forward to the next release.
