Is there an easy way to compare launch configurations?
We often have the situation that make some structural changes (e.g. new
target platform) and want make our RAP/OSGi launch configs work again.
Running a diff tool on the .launch files, which we keep in version
control, does not help too much. The main problem here is that the
information about the involved bundles is kept in two long lines, which
makes seeing the differences quite hard.
My current workaround is copying those long lines to Microsoft Excel
using ',' as column separator. Then I can transpose this rows and sort
the colum. These sorted columns are a way better input for my diff tool ;-)
Is there any tooling I am not aware of?
Best regard, Jens

There's an enhancement request open for this:
198038: need a way to compare launch configs
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=198038
Feel free to vote and make it known that you would find this useful.
In PDE land, I think we could make it easier if we didn't store the
bundles in one line... and if they were sorted before they were stored too.
