Using Eclipse 3.1 on Linux.
I am unable to get quickdiff to work (editing file with the EPIC
plugin, but this is not plugin specific, is it?)
I would love a feature that allows me to figure out the changes
between the buffer and the saved version on disk and when I read
about quickdiff I was euphoric. Unfortunately, it does not seem
to work:
- if I show line numbers, nothing whatsoever is shown
- when I disable line numbers, I sometimes see bars where something
has been changed (but not always). Hovering over the bars does
NOT show the differences though (it shows essentiall an
empty small popup window).

Not generally - any text editor inheriting from the text editor
framework can use quick diff out of the box.

Sounds wrong. You can easily check whether quick diff works at all by
opening the relevant file using the eclipse text editor (from the
context menu choose 'Open With>Text Editor'). You should then see the
lines you change compared to a reference (usually either disk or your
repository, see the General>Editors>Text Editors>Quick Diff preference
page to configure the reference).
If it doesn't work with the text editor, please file a bug against
platform-text. If it does, file one against the creator of your plug-in.
HTH, tom
