From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: If you bring up a file in the cvs resource window _without_ first opening the file, and then compare two versions, then Eclipse will complain and the compare will fail (an error dialog followed by an empty view). I found that it sometimes works when you open the file first. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Connect to a cvs server, and bring up a file's resource history 2.Select two versions of the file 3.Right mouse click to compare them. Expected Results: A nice visual diff. Additional info:
This might be related to this eclipse PR: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=35362 This was closed in 2.1.1. I'll investigate importing 2.1.1 before RC.
I was able to reproduce this with a gcj-compiled 2.1.1. So upgrading won't help.
I've checked in a fix for this.
