Team

The Team coponent is responsible for providing repository tooling integration into Eclipse and a universal compare facility for use by repository tooling and others.

Platform Team Repository Integration Framework

The goal of the Team component is to provide a mechanism by which repository tools can integrate the full, rich, functionality of their repository solution into the Eclipse workbench in a first class way.

Compare Framework

The universal Compare facility implements:

Two and Three-way compare/merge components for hierarchical structures superimposed on text
Differencing engines for
- hierarchical structures
- character ranges, e.g. text lines or words
Integration and creation of patch files
Comparison and merging with the local history.

The infrastructure is extensible to different content types. It defines extension points for type specific ContentMergeViewers StructureMergeViewers or StructureCreators.
