It has now been one year since the EMF compare component appeared in the Eclipse CVS. One year of many work done, new features and useful user feedbacks. Its purpose still is twofolds : 1) to provide an "out of the box" comparison capability for any EMF-based model and 2) to provide extensibility and mechanisms to leverage the comparison results.
This short talk will provide an overview of the new features and will give an update on the status of its 1.0 release as part of the 2008 Ganymede Simultaneous Release.
