Harmonized usage of the compare directions: Mine/Yours/Your, Incoming/Outgoing,
Left/Right. Everywhere <b>Left/Right </b>is used.</li>

<br>All comparison operations can now be written as subclasses of <tt>CompareOp</tt>.
<tt>CompareUIPlugin.runCompareOp()</tt>
generically opens a <tt>CompareEditor</tt> for it. <tt>ResourceCompareOp</tt>
implements a universal two/threeway compare on desktop resources. <tt>HistoryCompareOp</tt>
compares a resource with its most recent edition from the history buffer.
Another example would be a <tt>RepositoryCompareOp</tt>.</ul>

background coloring in the TextMergeViewer no longer depend on StyledText
background coloring support.</li>
<li>
generic <i>copy-left-to-right</i> and <i>copy-right-to-left</i> action
now work in second and third structure panes.</li>
<br>In the resource pane they just print a message to the console but don't
do anything.
<li>
Progress is shown while a compare runs.</li>
<li>
Support for comparing jpegs.</li>
<li>
if resources with unknown types are compared the Compare Plugin tries to
guess whether they contain text and whether the TextMergeViewer can be
used.</li>
