Overview
In addition to a diff/merge engine, EMF Diff/Merge provides simple GUI components for visualizing comparisons and letting end-users merge models manually.
A default mechanism provides a comparison action (pop-up menu) which allows end-users to open a comparison in an editor. This mechanism can be customized to support different kinds of comparison. Alternatively, a comparison can be displayed in other graphical contexts.
Default comparison action
The default comparison action is applicable on workspace files. Select 2 or 3 model files in the Eclipse workspace, right-click, then select "Compare with", "Each other as models". The corresponding metamodel(s) must be registered in the platform.
