The Javadoc of IHistoryPage says: /** * Returns a one line description of the object whose history is * being displayed. For example, for files, this may be the * workspace path of the file. The description may be displayed to * the user as tooltip text or by some other means. * @return a one line description of the object whose history is * being displayed or <code>null</code> * @since 3.2 */ public String getDescription(); and there is an API to notify the GenericHistoryView about changes of that property. But in the propertyChange method of the GenericHistoryView, which handles this event, the codes does nothing: public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent event) { if (event.getSource() == currentPageContainer.getPage()) { if (event.getProperty().equals(IHistoryPage.P_NAME)) { ... (removed for shortness) } else if (event.getProperty().equals(IHistoryPage.P_DESCRIPTION)) { // We don't show the description } } } This looks like an inconsistency to me... Or is there any way to get this description rendered?
Have you looked at other references to org.eclipse.team.ui.history.IHistoryPage.P_DESCRIPTION? I didn't run the code but org.eclipse.team.ui.history.HistoryPageCompareEditorInput.handlePropertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent) looks like it does the job. Could you verify that?

I saw this reference, but the handler is not called at all; the only handler that's being called is the one in GenericHistoryView (the code which I pasted into the description).
