Hey All,
What do you suggest a newbie for getting started with emf compare? I'm
sure this question is asked many times, but I'm not finding the
information I'm looking for. Regarding my background, I've some experience
working with emf but none with compare.

I came across these set of examples in the source repositories. I'm not
sure if this is the right place to get started with.

Thanks,
Azhar

Hi Azhar,

It all depends on what you want to do with EMF Compare :). If you simply
want to compare models, getting started is easy : add the extension of
the models you want to compare in Window => Preferences => General =>
Content types => EMF Compare and compare your files as you would
normally (see
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Comparing_XML_files_with_EMF_Compare ).

If you wish to call EMF Compare programmatically, the examples are
indeed the good place to start, with the "standalone" example being the
more concise as to "how to call for a comparison from code".

If you wish to develop patches/fixes for EMF Compare, take a look at
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Setting_up_a_development_environment _for_EMF_Compare
on how to set up your environment.

Hope this helps,
