Comparing Versions

Use the Compare Versions command from the Methods menu in the Class Browser, Primitive Types Browser, or Interface Browser to compare the current and latest versions of a method source.

Method source versions can be compared only when versioning has been set for the schema and when there have been changes to the current method.

You can change your default source comparison options, if required, by using the Compare Sources group box controls of the Source Management sheet from the Options menu Preferences command. For example, you can select the comparison of changes only or that white space is to be compared.

To compare the current and latest versions of a method source

  1. In the Methods List of the Class Browser, Primitive Types Browser, or Interface Browser, select the versioned method whose sources you want to compare.

  2. Select the Compare Versions command from the Methods menu. (This command is disabled if the current version of the method is the only version or if versioning of the schema is not set.)

The Compare Sources window is then displayed. For more details, see "Comparing a Method Source", in Chapter 3 of the JADE Development Environment User’s Guide.
