| 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 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. |
