Previously I've used command line SVN without any wrappers.
Few days ago I switched to Eclipse with Subversive and have problems with diffs.
Team Sync perspective with Compare view is OK, but it displays whole file, not just changes.
Where I can find something similar to "svn diff" output? I need only changes.
Eclipse Compare views show the entire file which makes sense, as its a GUI. In the Compare view, there are buttons in the top right that enable you to skip from diff to diff (down and up), and the right-hand margin shows locations. So, while its not exactly the same as the command-line, its just as functional. Also, it gives you context for the changes, not just the changed line.
If you need to output a report, that's a little different. You might be able to just click int the top pane, type Ctl-A to select all, Ctl-C to copy, and then paste into a text editor. That might give you just the changes.

I am using Eclipse (Photon 4.8.0) for a Git project. Before committing, I have been double clicking the files which appear in the unstaged changes section of the Git Staging View to remind myself of what I have changed before writing the commit message (I'm still new to Git so occasionally I will do several things before remembering that I have to commit my changes). However, double clicking on the file today merely opens the file, rather than opening the comparison view. I can still open the comparison view by right clicking the file and selecting Compare with Index but this takes more time and is frustrating.
As far as I know, I haven't changed any settings (not intentionally anyway). Can someone explain to me how to get back the behaviour I was seeing before please?
Make sure, in the Git Staging view toolbar the Compare Mode button is pressed.

i am using an eclipse based IDE and have a library with some files that i need to make additions/changes to. what is the best way to quickly see the all the modifications of all files in a list/tab in eclipse IDE?
i know there is the useful "#TODO" tag that shows all tasks in a nice view/tab. as im using this quite heavily, i would like to have a special view/tab that just shows the modifications and separates them from the todos.
EDIT:
thx for the suggestions and the local history tipp.
sorry for not making myself clearer. ive added a screenshot.
when i add "TODO" the tasks show up in the tab marked in red - i dont mind setting manually something (like a bookmark) as im not going to make a lot of changes, but ideally they show up like the tasks or another simple overview.
It's could depend of your version control system.
For each, eclipse purpose an associated plugin with a specific view.
Instead that, you could use the History view (Team/ Show local History after a right clic on a file).
Eclipse keeps a history of your changes for a limited number of days (configured in 'Preferences > General > Workspace > Local History'). You can right click on a file and choose 'Compare With > Local History' to see the changes between revisions.
To track all your changes you need to use one of the source control systems (such as SVN, GIT, ...). Eclipse has plugins to support these systems. Once you have installed one of these you can use the 'Team' menu to commit changes and look at the history.
found it!
by clicking "window" - "Show view" - "other" one needs to select the "bookmarks". the bookmarks then show up as a tab next to tasks.
by clicking the right small arrow the bookmark view menu pops up (similiar to the screenshot above with the task menu). the bookmark view can then be configured/filtered by clicking the "Configure contents..." menu link.
I run into this problem a lot. Sometimes I would edit and forget about it in Eclipse or maybe keyboard moved randomly and input random characters. How do I view current changes compared to the last save easily in Eclipse? That way, I would know what changes took effect before I save.
If you just want to see what lines have changed, then you can follow the instructions in this answer in order to show a highlight of the changed lines on the left-hand side of your editor.
Aside from that I don't think it's easy to tell what's recently been changed without saving. If you do save then you have the option of comparing with the previous version: right-click on the file in the tree and choose "Compare With -> Local History" and then choose a version you saved earlier.
If you save it you can also compare against what's in source control, of course. You are using some sort of source control?
You can use either
compare editor-show changes between 2 or 3 files by showing each file side-by-side
First select the files on the Project Explorer with control-click.
Now right-click -> Select Compare With / Each Other.
or
Quick Diff - General > Editors > Text Editors > Quick Diff
Does anyone know UI tool (Eclipse plugin would be great, but any other, for Linux/Windows is acceptable) that allows to see difference of some part of code, but also allows switch between revisions quickly, e.g. by using slider.
I like the Team -> Show Annotation... functionality. It colors the left side of the editor and groups changed lines by color. When you hover over one section you get the commit details (revision/author/date/comment).
I've used SVN time lapse view with some success.

It would be nice if Tortoise SVN blame included this history slider feature.
Okay, I have another newbie question. I'm starting to work with a remote code repository, remotehosting.com, and have been given a username, password, and URL. I've been able to successfully associate my project with a remote source code repository, have checked out/pulled down the source files, and have now made a small change to a single file. Here's where my questions start.
1) I can't see anywhere in my GUI where Xcode realizes that I have made a change to a file
2) How do I check my files back in?
I gotta be missing something. The docs I've been reading point to more menu items that I currently see under my SCM menu item. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks in advance for your assistance!!!
File -> Source Control -> Commit, Select the files that you want to commit, add a comment and hit commit button.
This is the flow for xcode 4
In Xcode 3...
The Project window should have a column which displays the SCM status for your files. This can appear both in the "Groups & Files" outline view in the left pane and the file list in the right pane. The icon for the column is a little cylinder shape, a black-and-white version of the yellow cylinder that's shown when you manage repositories. If this column is not displayed, you can right-click on the header of either of those panes to bring up a menu with a list of columns. Select "SCM" from that. The status will display as the same one-letter codes that SVN uses on the command line.
In order to commit files, you can either a) select the particular files, or group you want to commit and use the menu command SCM>Commit Changes..., or b) Select SCM>Commit Entire Project... (which I personally have bound to ⌥-⌘-C in the Xcode key bindings preferences).
Either of these will display a sheet in which you can enter your commit message; the text field in this is very handy in that it accepts the Return key as a newline, rather than passing it to the "Commit" button, but could be confusing the first few times. Press ⌘-Return to activate the button and perform the commit.
