Question

How do I compare two files using Eclipse?

(Currently I am using WinMerge.)

Answer 1

If one or both of the files you wish to compare isn't in an Eclipse project:

1. Open the Quick Access search box

   • Linux/Windows: Ctrl+3
   • Mac: ⌘+3

2. Type compare and select Compare With Other Resource

3. Select the files to compare → OK

You can also create a keyboard shortcut for Compare With Other Resource by going to Window → Preferences → General → Keys
