Current source code management and diff tools just
treat java classes as simple text. Just formatting the
class makes impossible to diff or merge it, and so
formatting is often prohibited in software companies.
Even getting the real difference between codes is
difficult. Same goes for java code when methods or
fields are moved and reordered.

It would be useful to have a java aware diff and merge
tool, both for IDEs, command line and source code
management integration.

Thanks! :-)
