Description Max Sauer 2006-11-15 09:26:12 UTC
It would be nice if the diff would show the *.java source instead of *.form xml
source when diffing a form file -- the *.java file should be the default
selection in the combobox above the diff, since the user is typically not
interested in how the xml file changed.

Stesp to reproduce:
-------------------
1) Open a versioned form file
2) Go to source view, make some changes in source and save them
3) Invoke CVS|Diff from file's context menu inside Explorer
=> Diff shows diff of the *.form file (the underlying xml), eventough the
changes were made inside *.java source, and the *.form file has not been even
affected.
