Reinstalling eclipse clean so I can be sure my bug reports are valid Wink

Comparing the directories of my old eclipse vs my clean eclipse install I notice binary differences between files in identically named jars. For instance (on the right is my clean (and more recent) install. On the left my old install where I have used the "Update" functionality on several occasions) :

about.mappings :

index.php/fa/14951/0/

Classes + ECLIPSE_.SF +MANIFEST.MF + ECLIPSE_.RSA :

index.php/fa/14716/0/

differingClasses and Manifest and ECLIPE_.SF-RSA instead of ECLIPE.SF-RSA + different ECLIPSE_.RSA :

index.php/fa/14719/0/

EDIT : also build.xml :

index.php/fa/14731/0/

where the diff for this last one is :

index.php/fa/14732/0/

Can I safely ignore these differences ?

In fact I think this is really something that should be addressed - it makes comparing eclipse installs a chore - where could I fill a bug report for this

Thanks
