Method Detail

doDiff

public static DiffModel doDiff(MatchModel match)

Return a diffmodel created using the match model. This implementation is a generic and simple one.

Parameters:

match - The matching model.

Returns:

The corresponding diff model.

doDiff

public static DiffModel doDiff(MatchModel match,
                               boolean threeWay)

Return a diffmodel created using the match model. This implementation is a generic and simple one.

Parameters:

match - the matching model

threeWay - True if we're computing a three way comparison, False otherwise.

Returns:

the corresponding diff model

getBestDiffEngine

public static IDiffEngine getBestDiffEngine(java.lang.String extension)

Returns the best IDiffEngine for a file extension.

Parameters:

extension - The extension of the file we need a IDiffEngine for.

Returns:

The best IDiffEngine for the given file extension.

getCorrespondingDiffExtensions

public static java.util.Collection<AbstractDiffExtension> getCorrespondingDiffExtensions(java.lang.String extension)

Returns all AbstractDiffExtensions registered against the given file extension.

Parameters:

extension - The extension of the file we need the AbstractDiffExtensions for.

Returns:

All of the AbstractDiffExtensions registered against the given file extension.
