Re: [ jEdit-devel ] Want to add diff functionality in ProjectViewer plugin

[Jiger P. <jig...@ho...>]

Hi,
      I too have the same need- Diff two dir. structures & also files 
within. But with one difference. I would like this diff functionality in 
JDiffPlugin rather than PV. Obviously PV could have a Prj. based diff by 
using this Directory-based diff functionality if implemented in jdiff for 
its Project root. The reason it should be in JDiff is becoz that is where is 
rightly belongs. JDiff diffs files so it can be extended to diff directories 
too. Like I currently use $ softwares to diff between my Project directory 
location & CVS location to merge or diff between them. I would like JDiff 
authors to think abt it & implement it soon if they find it a nice idea, I 
will attain nirvana if this functionality comes in jdiff. No need to use 
another software to diff. directories.
