Setting preferences for comparing and merging models

You can set several default preferences for comparing and merging models. For example, you can change the default for viewing reflective names and types when you view structural changes between versions of an Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) model.
About this task

You can also change the view when you navigate structural changes. You can view structural changes between versions of a model in their default view. The type of difference determines the default view. For example, if you select a diagram change in the Structural changes pane, the diagram view becomes the default view in the Left, Right, and Merged result panes.

You can also change the default configuration data for the compare and merge server. The compare and merge server listens continuously on a specified network port for incoming ClearCase® compare and merge requests.

To set preferences for comparing and merging models:

  1. Click Window > Preferences.
  2. In the Preferences window, expand General, expand Compare/Patch, and click Modeling Compare/Merge.
  3. On the Modeling Compare/Merge page, and the pages beneath it, specify the appropriate preferences and click OK.
