Eclipse - quicker "compare with each other" -

i using eclipse kepler , want to:

• quickly compare 2 files (key binding great)
• ...with identical names
• ...in different projects
• ...within same workspace

---

now, process know consists in:

• selecting both files in file explorer
• right-clicking 1 of them
• "compare with..."
• "each other"

(see here).

this works fine, of course.

however, it's incredibly tedious when you're dealing large projects - scroll , down package list until find right files.

it helps link editor file explorer, , ctrl-shift-r both files before, package trees open , 1 of file's selected, that's not quick enough.

i tried "select" files ctrl-shift-clicking tabs in editor, hoping select both in file explorer, no luck.

is there feature or workaround don't know about, speed up?

if files have same name, search files (search -> file...). leave 'containing text' blank , specify (part of) name of files. both files appear in search view can select , right-click them , select compare -> each other.

not sure whether fast you'd be, faster manually looking files in package explorer view.
