I tried to make the title pretty exact to what I'm talking about. I've been throwing a project together which now requires me to reconcile two separate versions of source code. I understand ICompilationUnit wasn't really designed to reconcile different files, but through some magic(passing the new source code to a ReplaceEdit and applying to a WorkingCopy), I have gotten reconcile to work. My only problem is that the output from reconciling seems to simply be the new source code, with no changes added from the old code. This leads me to my point, what is the behavior of the CompilationUnit's reconcile method. Does it ignore methods, fields, etc. that exist in the old version and not the new? Does it check matching methods' bodies? Any help/information would be appreciated, and again, my code's not breaking, I simply want to clarify how this method works. Thanks.

The reconcile method is there to update the Java model based on the
source and not the other way around.
