[ JDiff-devel ] CVS imports

[mike d. <md...@st...>]

howdy-

i just commited/imported/added my newest set of changes to JDiff. although
i wish i could have released a pre1 last week, it looks like it will have
to be some time later this week. however, this code is getting there. some
things are even complete (although most parts are still iffy and subject
to change without notice).

i switched from the previous "single buffer" interface to a more flexible
interface that should allow a lot of different viewing modes. i haven't
touched multiple top-level windows yet, but i did implement the buffer
management in such a way that it is trivial to switch between a
JTabbedPane view and a JDesktopPane view (as well as potentially other
sorts of views). i think the default mode will be JTabbedPane, but the
current CVS is setup to use the JDesktopPane (mainly for kicks).

i've also started the action system, but the only actions available
(new-diff and about) don't even do what they are supposed to yet. a few
other things probably got in there as well, and i definitely still have a
long way to go before 3.0 final.

p.s. since this app has almost nothing to do with the original JDiff,
should the current branch really be the 3.x series? people seem to keep
mistakenly calling the app jDiff anyways, so maybe we should "rename" it
from JDiff to jDiff and knock the version back to a more reasonable
version number, like 1.0 pre1.
