First, this git fork is for development only before submitting a patch
to the Eclipse bugzilla. I would like to make sure that you know it may
be broken anytime.

AFAIK, epatch.dsl has been developped on Xtext 1.0, maybe you are trying
to compile it against the new 2.0 code base and there are
incompatibilities? I will let people more aware of Xtext than me give
you pointers to resources you need.

The branch you are using does not provide any support for papyrus
diagrams files. It's just for GMF notation models comparison and is
currently hard linked to .ecorediag files for testing purposes. Remember
that nothing in there should be considered as "submission ready". But if
you already see some major pitfall that would avoid using our approach
with Papyrus, we would be glad you tell us.

This part is already on the Eclipse/Modeling/EMFComapre Git repository.
Currently, we don't plan anything about the messages of UML links. Our
target was: one action in the UI = one diff out of the UML comparison
engine. Feel free to open a bug about this point if you need this evolution.

Using commands, or providing the clients of our API with a way to do so,
is something we are currently investigating, but isn't planned for
release yet.
Best regards,
