Eclipse Build Input December 10th 2002
What's new in this drop
The Textmergeviewer sports a first cut of a new UI for left/right copying,
showing the 'resolved' status of a change, and uses smooth lines to
connect the differing ranges in the left and right panes.
The new UI options are off by default. You can turn them on
with the three 'experimental' options on the Compare preference page.

Updated JavaDoc
Eclipse Build Input June 12th 2002
What's new in this drop
There were several complains that clicking on a zip file in the left pane (structure input pane) feeds all other
compare panes (see bug 13730). There are cases where this is expensive (for example a large zip file that has
to be read from a repository). To avoid those situations the left pane now honors single or double click mode as
set in Preferences->Workbench. So if this preference is set to double click the user has to double click on a file
in the left pane to actually feed all other compare panes.

an additional option when finishing the wizard.

This option can be used to 'undo' a patch.
