'Select Next / Previous Change' in java compare selects whole string constant / line comment, even if only a single word has changed. This makes it sometimes hard to spot the difference, since you have to compare those lines 'manually'.

Example:

--- Try.java:
/**
 * Javadoc javadoc Javadoc
 * @author me and eclipse
 */
public class Try {
    //inline comment
    String getString() {
        return "a string constant";
    }
}
--------------
--- Try2.java:
/**
 * Javadoc Javadoc Javadoc
 * @author me and Eclipse
 */
public class Try2 {
    //inline Comment
    String getstring() {
        return "a String constant";
    }
}
--------------

Comparing the two as *.java files only selects the whole '//inline Comment' and '"a String constant"'. Comparing them as *.txt files selects the single words as expected.
