    The following test fails:

    @Test
    public void testDiffSimilar() throws Exception
    {
    String a = "<a><b val=\"c\" /><b val=\"d\" /></a>";
    String b = "<a><b val=\"d\" /><b val=\"c\" /></a>";
    Diff diff = new Diff(a, b);
    assertTrue(diff.similar());
    }

    What would I need to do to make the comparison work?

    You need to help XMLUnit to determine which XML elements it should compare.  By default it will compare elements with the same element names in order.

    You want to specify a custom ElementQualifier http://xmlunit.sourceforge.net/userguide/html/ar01s03.html#ElementQualifier - to be specific in your case you want to use a ElementNameAndAttributeQualifier.
