Eclipse freezes when the compared models contain an EPackage whose name attribute is an empty string or null. This only occures when only the selected resources and not their resourcesets are compared.

The bug can be reproduced with the following steps: 
- *Make sure all your work is saved!*
- Create two ecore-files via the New Ecore File wizard.
- Mark both files and select Compare With > Each Other from the context menu.
- Choose "Selected resource(s) only"

Regards,
Gregor

This was a really well hidden infinite loop deep inside the UI code. It has now been fixed on master and will be available in tomorrow's M4 build. (This will also find its way in the maintenance stream.)
