       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.

       You can now create an <code>IPath</code> completely without referring to <code>org.eclipse.core.runtime.Path</code>.
