Eclipse visual indication of edited line
eclipse
Solution
This feature is called Quick Diff in Eclipse.
Turn on and configure Quick Diff:
- Click Window > Preferences.
- In General > Editors > Text Editors > Quick Diff, check Enable quick diff.
- You can also configure the reference source to be the filesystem or, if you have CVS or SVN integration, you can choose one of those as well.
Problem
I have used Eclipse for a very long time. It has its problems, but I always seem to come back to it. I used IntelliJ a couple of years ago because the client required it. One of the small things I liked about IntelliJ is that it showed a visual indicator in the gutter if a line had been edited since the last commit. I would really like to see this in Eclipse. Am I missing the obvious?
