The diff API is kind of incomplete. Scenario: - have 2 temporary files, none of them come from the IDE - create editable diff controller for them - edit the right file - close the diff's "JComponent" by pressing OK button - now what?? There is no documented way how to: - find out whether the "right" file has been changed? and/or - save the modified document?, and/or - get the content of the modified "right" file. Thanks a lot.
BTW this [1] is what I need to do in order to use the Diff API for my (not so uncommon, I would say) needs. Please notice that the save() method must be always called (even if user clicks Cancel) otherwise the IDE thinks that there is a file with unsaved changes somewhere. Thanks.
