Bug 330705

Description lukazb 2010-11-19 14:36:50 EST

Non-functional compare editor (diff view). 
Product: Eclipse PDT Helios (with updates from update site), installed PyDev and Subversive.
OS: Ubuntu Maverick (10.10) amd64.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Checkout a PHP project from a SVN repository and introduce some changes into a php file, then save the file. Then perform any of the following:
2a. Right-click on the modified file in PHP Explorer view, select "Compare with...", then "Latest from Repository" - error occurs. Or:
2b. Select "Commit" then double-click on the modified file in the commit dialog. Expected compare editor never appears.
