* Package name : java-diff-utils Version : 2.1.1 Upstream Author : Dmitry Naumenko, Brendan Kromhout * URL : https://github.com/bkromhout/java-diff-utils * License : Apache 2.0 Programming Lang: Java Description : library for computing diffs, applying patches, and generation of side-by-side view in Java The java-diff-utils library is for computing diffs, applying patches, generation side-by-side view in Java. It is an open source library for performing comparison operations between chunks of text: computing diffs, applying patches, generating unified diffs or parsing them, generating diff output for easy future display (like a side-by-side view) and so on. The main reason for creating this library was the lack of easy-to-use libraries with all the usual features necessary for working with diff files. Originally it was inspired by the JRCS library and its nice diff module design. This package is required for the upgrade of JabRef to 3.x (#810725). It will be team-maintained by the Java Team. The code originates from Google Code and there are numerous extant forks available on GitHub. The "bkromhout" fork was chosen as the basis for packaging because it is being actively maintained with participation by the JabRef upstream maintainers.
