Description Ludovic WALLE

Build Identifier: 20100617-1415

On the same java file:
- launching from navigator view (Compare with -> Clipboard from navigator contextual menu) opens a view in "java source compare" mode.
- launching from editor (Compare with -> Clipboard from editor contextual menu) opens a view in "text compare" mode, and it is not possible to switch to "java source compare" mode.

Both should open the editor in "java source compare" mode.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. On a java file in the navigator view, choose Compare with -> Clipboard from contextual menu => opens a compare view in "java source compare" mode
2. On the same java file opened in java editor, choose Compare with -> Clipboard from contextual menu => opens a compare view in "text compare" mode

I may be wrong, but vanilla Eclipse SDK does not offer ''Compare with > Clipboard'. Do you have extra plug-ins installed?

Oops, I didn't think of that. I checked my configuration and you are right, it comes with an extra plug-in. Sorry.

Is it one of Eclipse projects? If not, I will mark this report as NOT_ECLIPSE.

I think it's not an Eclipse project. The plug-in is "AnyEdit Tools":
