The 'Show Whitespace Characters' action doesn't work in container compare in the Java compare editor (compare two projects or folders, then open a .java file comparison). The action is in the context menu, but whitespace is never rendered.

Works fine for pure text compare. Looks like the problem is that JavaMergeViewer#isEditorBacked(ITextViewer) returns true in this case, but JavaMergeViewer.CompilationUnitEditorAdapter#createActions() is never called (so the action doesn't get registered).
