In Eclipse 3.4, I select two folders and choose to compare them with each
other. In spite of having the "ignore white space" option set, I'm
presented with a list of files, many of which have no differences except
white space. When I open the side-by-side editor to view contents, it
shows no significant difference, but what I need is a way to have those
files excluded from the list entirely.
There is white space variations in the files, but a "diff -b" would show
nothing.

Maybe you can comment on the bug to help drive that one forward. It
looks like it has been around for sometime.
