Yaron. I've wrapped:
http://www.bmsi.com/java/#diff in an ant task and it works very well (I had to tweak the original source above a bit). If there are differences in any file a .diff files is created that looks as if you ran diff from a prompt. The great thing about this is that if platform independent. Basically I pass a fileset of (generated) files I want to compare and a parameter that points to the directory containing the original files (in my implementation I never have sub directories in either generated or source but it should work). As well as sending output to the screen you can also specify a log file for the process. Upon completion of the test a pass / fail result property is set. This is what it looks like in my build file: <compareFiles otherDirectory="${this.directory}.original" file="${project.dir}\build.log" append="true"> <fileset dir="${this.directory}.generated"> <include name="${these.files}"/> </fileset> </compareFiles> <echo message="Test Result: ${test.result}${line.separator}" file="${project.dir}\build.log" append="true"/> I can share this if you want but I must warn you that this is designed purely for what I need. It doesn't check that matching file exists in the "otherDirectory" though this would be easy enough to do I don't need it. I have no documentation etc. It's would be a good starting point for you but I doubt I would have time to ever round off the rough edges.
