Eclipse and the Compare With Each Other

Posted On October 13, 2007 2:45 PM By Phil in Development Tools,General,CFEclipse

Ray Camden released yesterday version 5.9 of his BlogCFC application on which this website runs. I have always struggled with getting Ray's changes into my site, particularly when they affect areas of the application I might have changed to get the layout or functionality (like the inline comments) to what I want. I have used Eclipse's (within CFEclipse, of course) "Local History" to revert back to something I might have done earlier while working on a particular file. Today, for the first time, I used the other option within the Compare file-context menu, "With Each Other". Boy I wish I had discovered this much earlier as it would have made my life easier (and saved some ink) when comparing what changes occurred between the base BlogCFC code base and what I had on my system. It just goes to show, take a few minutes to look at the IDE you use to develop in your particular programming language as you will most likely find something that will make your job easier.
