Build Identifier: 20090920-1017

I'd like an easy way to compare a file to the same file in a different project.

This would be incredibly useful for folks who keep different branches of a product in separate projects in Eclipse.

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce:
The enhancement may work like this:
1. In Project Explorer, right click on a file
2. Then in the "Compare" menu, there would be an item "with same file in project..."
3. And then a further submenu would list the projects in which a file with the same path appears.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

If the bug is still relevant, please remove the "stalebug" whiteboard tag.
