New comparison plugin

To be able to compare revisions from Models it would be great to offer a nice comparison view. One Eclipse project which provides such a view is EMF Compare.

Please find attached the patches to include EMF Compare for comparison of revision in EMFStore.

The comparison can be triggered in the History Browser by selecting two revisions and right clicking and clicking compare.

The display is not quite optimal yet and there is an issue with displaying "orphans moved from null to null". This was reported on the emft mailing list: http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/221722/

Comment 3 Edgar Mueller CLA 2013-05-27 08:28:27 EDT 
This patch should finally be reviewed.
Comment 4 Edgar Mueller CLA 2013-07-29 04:13:09 EDT 
We implemented the desired functionality based on the patches. By default it is not part of the core because of the EMF Compare dependency.  The feature is called 'org.eclipse.emf.emfstore.client.ui.historybrowsercomparator.feature'.
Comment 5 Guillermo Zunino CLA 2015-04-28 18:32:08 EDT 
I see the feature on git, but I cannot find it on 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5 p2 repositories.
Is this expected?
Comment 6 Edgar Mueller CLA 2015-05-06 11:05:41 EDT 
Hi Guillermo,
thanks for the report. This seems to be an misconfiguration issue on our side, we'll try to address it for the upcoming 1.5 release.

We'll actually need to update EMF Compare to a more recent version.

I upgraded the EMFCompareComparator and target plattform to EMF Compare 3 with https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/48667/. The change has been merged.
Comment 12 Johannes Faltermeier CLA 2015-05-29 10:55:59 EDT 
The feature is missing on the update site. I will add it.
