| <h1>Comparing to an API baseline</h1> |
| <p>Any API Tools enabled project in your workspace can be compared to any one of the API baselines set up in your workspace. In addition to |
| selecting projects to compare to a baseline you can also select (or multi-select) any of the following within an API tools enabled project: |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>source folders</li> |
| <li>package fragments</li> |
| <li>compilation units</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>NOTE: all selections must be made from |
| the <b><a href="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.jdt.doc.user/reference/views/ref-view-package-explorer.htm">Package Explorer</a></b> because the compare wizard |
| works only for Java elements.</p> |
| <br> |
| <p>To compare to an API baseline do the following:</p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>Select the elements to compare using the criteria mentioned above.</li> |
| <li>Select the API baseline to compare to in the <b><a href="../reference/api-tooling/wizards/ref-api-compare-wizard.htm">Compare Wizard</a></b></li> |
| <li>Click <b>Finish</b> and you are all set. Any results from the compare will be shown in the <b><a href="../reference/api-tooling/views/ref-api-tooling-view.htm">API Tools</a></b> view.</li> |
| </ol> |
