Hi.
I was about to fix a side-by-side compare view of two strings representing
text documents, i.e. compare two text document that are in memory and does
not reside in any IResource.
But now I'm kind of lost in CompareUI, TextMergeViewer,
EditionSelectionDialog, etc.
Is there a smooth way of dealing with this or do I have to write my own
CompareEditorInput based on java strings...
I would really need a push in the right direction here
thanks
/Johan

Thanks Michael think I get your idea and might give it a try. But after
my vacation ;)
Meanwhile I implemented a very simple line by line diff in an SWT table,
that will work for now.
