Can ComparePlugin be used in SWT stand-a-lone application [message #467678]

I'm building a stand-a-lone client base on SWT and JFACE. In this client
I want to compare two text files. Can the eclipse Compare plugin be used
for this or can it only be used with Eclipse?

Based on other posts I have added code like below, but I keep gettomg
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError's errors no matter what I try.

CompareConfiguration cc = new CompareConfiguration();
CompareEditorInput input = new CompareEditorInput(cc) {
protected Object prepareInput(IProgressMonitor monitor)
throws InvocationTargetException, InterruptedException {
return new DiffNode(new ByteInput("left",
"these\nare\nthe\ncontents"), new ByteInput(
"right", "theasdse\nare\nthe\ncontednts"));
}
};
CompareUI.openCompareEditor(input);

It really depends on the plugin ... like JFace is a plugin, but can
easily be used as a jar in SWT applications.

If the compare plugin is trying to open an editor it probably depends on
org.eclipse.ui.workbench, which mean it won't run outside of eclipse/rcp.

With deserialization I can see that the class' in eg. CompareUI indeed
uses the workbench class', so I guess the answer is NO, compare plugin
can not be used outside eclipse in SWT/JFACE application.
