| <b><i>Identifier: </i></b>org.eclipse.compare.structureMergeViewers |
| <p><b><i>Description: </i></b>This extension point allows to plug in a |
| compare/merge viewer for structured content. The viewer must extend <tt>org.eclipse.jface.viewers.Viewer</tt>. |
| However since viewers don't have a default constructor the extension point |
| must implement a factory object for viewers: the interface <tt>org.eclipse.compare.IViewerCreator</tt>. |
| <p><b><i>Configuration Markup:</i></b> |
