The definition of a reference provider for the quick diff display.
-
class - the class of the reference provider, which must implement
org.eclipse.ui.texteditor.quickdiff.IQuickDiffReferenceProvider
-
label - the display label for the provider, which will show up in the menu that allows the user to set the quick diff reference to this provider
-
id - A string uniquely identifying this reference provider.
-
Deprecated default - if this flag is set to
true, this reference provider will be installed per default the first time quick diff is enabled for a document. If multiple providers are installed with the flag set are encountered, the first one is taken.
Examples:
The following is an example of a reference provider definition. It contributes a provider that uses the version of a document saved on disk as a reference.
<extension point=
"quickdiff.referenceprovider"
>
<referenceprovider
id=
"default"
name=
"%LastSavedProvider.name"
label=
"%quickdiff.referenceprovider.label"
class=
"org.eclipse.ui.internal.editors.quickdiff.providers.LastSaveReferenceProvider"
>
</referenceprovider>
</extension>
Supplied Implementation:
The
org.eclipse.ui.editors plugin contributes
LastSaveReferenceProvider. See its implementation as an example.
