EMF Compare brings model comparison to the EMF framework, this tool provides generic support for any kind of metamodel in order to compare and merge models. The objectives of this component are to provide a stable and efficient generic implementation of model comparison and to provide an extensible framework for specific needs.

; Matching
+
* The [http://wiki.eclipse.org/Category:EMF_Compare/Specification specifications of next EMF Compare features]
: Iterating over the two (or three) loaded logical models in order to map elements together two-by-two (or three-by-three). For example, determine that class ''Class1'' from the first model corresponds to class ''Class1''' from the second model.
+
* The [http://wiki.eclipse.org/Category:EMF_Compare/Archive archived wiki pages of EMF Compare]
; Differencing
+
: The matching phase told us which elements were matching together. The differencing phase will browse through these mappings and determine whether the two (or three) elements are equal or if they present differences (for example, the name of the class changed from ''Class1'' to ''Class1''').
+
; Equivalences
+
: The differencing phases detected a number of differences between the compared models. However, two distinct differences might actually represent the same change. This phase will browse through all differences and link them together when they can be seen as equivalent (for example, differences on opposite references).
+
; Requirements
+
: For the purpose of merging differences, there might be dependencies between them. For example, the addition of a class ''C1'' in package ''P1'' depends on the addition of package ''P1'' itself. During this phase, we'll browse through all detected differences and link them together when we determine that one cannot be merged without the other.
+
; Conflicts
+
: When we're comparing our file with one from a Version Control System (CVS, SVN, Git, Clearcase...), there might actually be conflicts between the changes we've made locally, and the changes that were made to the file on the remote repository. This phase will browse through all detected differences and detect these conflicts.

EMF Compare brings model comparison to the EMF framework. It provides generic and customizable support of model comparison and merge. It works with any kinds of EMF models such as Ecore, UML and your owns. The objectives of EMF Compare are to provide a stable and efficient generic implementation of model comparison and merge and to provide an extensible framework for dedicated needs. The EMF Compare project is part of EMF (Eclipse Modeling Framework).
