<td class="title">Influence "Ignore Whitespace" in Compare</td>
<td class="content">
- The "Ignore White Space" context menu action in the eclipse compare view is ignoring all whitespace in the source code including the significant one.
- But whitespace differences e.g. in string literals in Java code may be important.</br>
- It is now possible to to hook into the ignore whitespace algorithm by providing an implementation of the new <code>IIgnoreWhitespaceContributor</code> interface.
- Return an instance of this interface in your redefinition of the <code>createIgnoreWhitespaceContributor</code> method in your sub-class of <code>TextMergeViewer</code>.</br>
- Your implementation is called in the "Ignore White Space" action for each found whitespace difference.
- Your implementation can decide whether the whitespace difference should be ignored or not.
+ The "Ignore White Space" context menu action in the Eclipse Compare editor ignores all whitespace, including what may be semantically significant whitespace.
+ For example, in Java a whitespace difference in a string literal is semantically significant while trailing whitespace is not.
+ <p>
+ It is now possible to hook into the ignore-whitespace algorithm by providing an implementation of the new <code>IIgnoreWhitespaceContributor</code> interface.
+ Return an instance of this interface in your override of the <code>createIgnoreWhitespaceContributor</code> method in your sub-class of <code>TextMergeViewer</code>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Your implementation is called for each detected whitespace difference when "Ignore White Space" is enabled.
+ Your implementation can decide whether that whitespace difference should be ignored or not.
