| h2. Configuration |

| |
| h3. Activating EMF Compare on a given file extension |
| |
| EMF compare uses a content-type to know whether it should be used for comparison. This content-type will initially register itself against .ecore and .uml files. |
| You may add your own extension using the Preferences view / Global / Content-types and adding your file extension in the "EMF Compare" content-type. |
