How to make an eclipse plugin to compare text of two files

I am planning to create a text comparison plugin for eclipse that basically provides a visual cue for the changes needed in a file and allows the user to accept or reject them. That's a lot in subclipse lines for svn or any other code comparison tools. I've already found a good source for text comparisons, but I'm looking for some guidance on how to implement a UI in eclipse.

Eclipse already supports this. Select two files, go to "Compare With", select "Each Other". Does this work for you?

Buy a copy of "Eclipse Plugins" from Clayberg and Rubel.



For what it's worth ... Eclipse already includes standard text file comparison tools.
