Other than using the Navigator Proj Explorer and choosing files and doing  Compare With -  Each other     I prefer opening both files in Eclipse and using  Compare With -  Opened Editor -  pick the opened tab     You can get this feature via the AnyEdit eclipse plugin located here  you can use Install Software via Eclipse- Help- Install New Software screen   http   andrei gmxhome de eclipse
