====My model is compared as a text-file, how can EMF compare know what file it should handle ?====
+
'''Q''' : My model is compared as a text-file, how can EMF compare know what file it should handle ?
+
 
+
'''A''' : EMF compare uses a content-type to know if it should be started or not. By default this content-type is composed of *.ecore and *.uml file but you may add your own extension using the <tt>Preferences view / Global / Content-types</tt> and adding your file extension in the "Model File" content-type.

====How can I programatically add my model file extension in EMF Compare so that it is called automatically ? ====
+
'''Q''' : How can I programatically add my model file extension in EMF Compare so that it is called automatically ?
+
 
+
'''A''' : Using the "Model File" content-type defined with EMF Compare, here is a sample from a plugin.xml:
+
<pre>
+
<extension
+
        point="org.eclipse.core.contenttype.contentTypes">
+
    <file-association
+
          content-type="org.eclipse.emf.compare.ui.contenttype.ModelContentType"
+
          file-extensions="uml13"
+
          file-names="*"/>
+
  </extension>
+
</pre>

'''Q''' : Is EMF Compare able to compare "in-memory" objects, and can it be run without Eclispe ?
+
 
+
'''A''': Yes, here is a snippet doing that:
