| Using the local history |
| </h1> |
| <p> |
| The JDT extends the workbench concept of a local history in three ways: |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| A file can be replaced with an edition from the local history not just in the Navigator but also in the Package Explorer view. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| The JDT allows you to compare and/or replace individual Java elements (types and their members) with editions from the local history. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| The JDT allows you to restore Java elements (and files) deleted from the workbench that have been kept in the local history. |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <p> |
| Note: Files and Java elements such as types and their members change in time. A 'snapshot' of what they look like a point in time (as saved in the local |
| history) is called an edition. |
