org.eclipse.compare.rangedifferencer
Class RangeDifference


java.lang.Object
  extended by 
org.eclipse.compare.rangedifferencer.RangeDifference

public class RangeDifference
extends Object

Description of a change between two or three ranges of comparable entities.

RangeDifference objects are the elements of a compare result returned from the RangeDifferencer find* methods. Clients use these objects as they are returned from the differencer. This class is not intended to be instantiated outside of the Compare framework.

Note: A range in the RangeDifference object is given as a start index and length in terms of comparable entities. However, these entity indices and counts are not necessarily character positions. For example, if an entity represents a line in a document, the start index would be a line number and the count would be in lines.

RangeDifferencer
Restriction:
This class is not intended to be instantiated by clients.
