This is related to the plan item bug 37679. When debugging a problem involving an interaction between my plugin and eclipse (which happens every time there is a bug in eclipse that we can not reproduce with a standalone SWT example - i.e. a lot) I will import all of Eclipse into my workspace as "Projects with Source folders" and then start hacking - both in SWT and in other plugins. The problem is that from time to time, I would like to see just exactly what I have hacked. Since I am not connected to a repository, there is no indication of what projects or classes have been modified and no general way to do a comparison against the base (what I imported). I think this is a pretty common scenario for people developing a sub-part of a large project. Without the ability to quickly see what has been modified, the ability to import existing plugins as source is significantly reduced in usefulness.
I'm going to close this as a dup, just so we can keep plan items all in one place. I will add your comments to the plan item bug report. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 37679 ***
