Bug 498368

Description Stuart Johnston 2016-07-22 14:01:48 EDT

Neon with Subversive 4.0 - trying svn compare in a project with changes (eg from base) results in a null pointer exception:

It can be avoided if the compare editor is forced to open for a specific file, using local compare in Eclipse, then an SVN compare own the same file will work fine. But this does not work for any structure compare. This is happening on OS/X (as above), I've not had a chance to try on anything else yet.
