Hi,

I would like to show the text comparision of two files in eclipse editor view.
How can do that using the eclipse java code.

Help me..

You can use the CompareUI.compareEditor method.

 File left =...;
 File right = ...;
 final CompareConfiguration cc = new CompareConfiguration();
 cc.setLeftLabel(left.getName());
 cc.setRightLabel(right.getName);
 CompareUI.openCompareEditor(new FileCompareInput(cc, left,right));

where FileCompareInput is an implementation of the abstract class EditorCompareInput.

hope that helps,

Benoit.

in the prepareInput method i am returning
-------------------
Differencer d = new Differencer();
Object diff = d.findDifferences(true, monitor, null, null, left, right);
return diff;
------------------

Where the left and right are the File objects.

But i am getting NullPointerException at CompareConfiguration cc = new CompareConfiguration();

What else i need to do ?
