Hi,

Yes I can reproduce this issue as well.
But my main question is, which result do you expect from the compare feature?
Because we don't do visual compare yet or so.

Best regards,

i was only trying to compare java files and got this error. It seems, in my case, the latest version completely breaks compare within eclipse.

Thanks again for your help.

Hi,
I added http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT-1643 for a simalar UseCase (Open Declaration (F3)). I am afraid, this problem occours in many more UseCases.
