Description Maxime Porhel CLA 2009-03-19 06:46:54 EDT 
Build ID: M20071023-1652

It should be great to have access to the implementation of default mergers (to extends them for example).
Comment 1 Laurent Goubet CLA 2009-09-03 09:09:20 EDT 
The default mergers are not yet fully operational, and we need to at least finish bug 269152 before opening this as API
Comment 2 Laurent Goubet CLA 2012-03-05 09:40:26 EST 
The default mergers are available, though through discouraged accesses. Some of the classes they rely on are not meant (nor are they designed) to be subclassed or otherwise used by third-party code.

The incoming restructuration aims at placing the mergers at the "diff" level instead of having the merging as an external operation. The whole merger API should therefore be a lot more accessible when bug 373245 is done with.
Comment 3 Laurent Goubet CLA 2013-01-11 05:25:13 EST 
The mergers API of EMF Compare 1.* have been opened for a while.

Mergers for EMF Compare 2 are a method of the Diff itself, so they can be simply subclassed. Further refinings of this as an API are planned for the year.
Comment 4 Laurent Goubet CLA 2013-01-23 07:09:53 EST 
The "further refining" will come with bug 398863
