org.eclipse.compare.rangedifferencer
Class RangeDifferencer


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

public final class RangeDifferencer

extends 
Object

A RangeDifferencer finds the differences between two or three IRangeComparators.

To use the differencer, clients provide an IRangeComparator that breaks their input data into a sequence of comparable entities. The differencer returns the differences among these sequences as an array of RangeDifference objects (findDifferences methods). Every RangeDifference represents a single kind of difference and the corresponding ranges of the underlying comparable entities in the left, right, and optionally ancestor sides.

Alternatively, the findRanges methods not only return objects for the differing ranges but for non-differing ranges too.

Finds the differences between two IRangeComparators. The differences are returned as an array of RangeDifferences. If no differences are detected an empty array is returned.

Parameters:
left - the left range comparator
right - the right range comparator
Returns:
an array of range differences, or an empty array if no differences were found
