| Comparing two elements |
| </h1> |
| <p> |
| To compare the crosscutting of two advice or two declare elements, or one of each: |
| </p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>Select the two elements in the Outline View or Package Explorer.</li> |
| <li>Right click and select <b>Compare Crosscutting With |
| > Each Other.</b> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <p> |
| The results of the comparison are then shown in the |
| <b>Crosscutting Comparison</b> view, which is opened in the current |
| perspective if it is not already showing. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| The <b>Propagate Up</b> toggle button can be used to adjust the granularity of |
| the comparison. By default the comparison is exact - the join points |
| affected by each element must match. When the toggle is selected, all |
| join points which occur within methods (calls made within the method, or catch |
| blocks for example) are propagated up to the enclosing method, and the |
| comparison is then performed between those methods. |
