Introduction

Add some styling to these label to more easily identify:

  • if the difference is local or remote,
  • the difference kind (addition, change, deletion, move),
  • the structural feature affected by the change,

For this purpose, styled texts will be used in the label provider.

Detailed Specification

Here is the new version of the labels:

alt Styled Labels

On each node, the data displayed are: object_name [property_affected type_of_difference]

  • The object name: the object concerned by the difference (e.g. class, attribute, reference...)
  • The property affected: the property of the object concerned by the difference.
  • The type of difference: the type of difference found on the property affected (e.g. add, remove, delete, set, unset, move or change)
