Re: Java XML diff toolkit (Klaus Mayr - 07:56, 8 Apr 2003) is it true? what can we do? what needs to be done? Re: Java XML diff toolkit (Roseanne Zhang - 20:34, 17 Jan 2003) The "VM Tools" Java Diff is almost totally useless. Sorry to say that. I use one of their example13.xml, and made one text change and added only one simple element. The diff I got from any other text diff tools was exact two lines. However, the VM Tools gave me incredible amount of bogus diffs.
I've not read the source code, and not plan to read either. However, I'm pretty sure it did not use the tree (graph) structure to do the XML diff. Otherwise, the result I got would be impossible.
Thanks!
