Sharing and Comparing DXL files

Projects can be shared in team repositories (CVS, Subversion, etc.). Team members can then easily work together, as the platform supports required collaborative actions:

Checkin and checkout
Textual and structural comparison of DXL files
Merge conflict resolution

We recommend users to read the Eclipse Team CVS tutorial to get familiar with collaborative work in Eclipse.

Even if you do not setup a team repository, you still have access to the Local History of the files edited in the workspace:

Open a DXL file and make some changes: add some text, change a function name, etc.
Right-click Compare With > Local History...

A dialog shows up and lets you compare the contents of the edited file with past versions. This dialog computes the textual difference and a structural difference (added or removed functions).
