Is there an Eclipse plugin to display file changes in real time?

Question

It is almost similar to a version control system, but in a version control system, diff is displayed between the state of the file during extraction and the state of the file after registration. We do not have information on changes made during the interim session. Its almost like a timelider function as part of an etherpad. But this function in the eclipse IDE will help the developer to recognize the changes made by him from the moment of his first editing in the source file until he finishes editing (when he saves the file using CTRL + S). He also reports that in this file these are changes made from the initial timestamp to the final timestamp.

Answer 1

If you correctly understood that the built-in functionality is close to what you are looking for: From the context menu of the file, select Compare With > Local History... I do not know the temporary function (this sounds good); here you get a list of versions and timestamps. These are discrete versions, therefore they are not "living" (both in each individual letter and in the change).

In Preferences > General > Editors > Text Editors > Quick Diff Enable quick diff, Show differences in overview ruler , live viewing is possible. Then the developer sees the changes as colored blocks in the overview bar on the left in the editor window. You can even set the link, either the last saved local version, or the basic version of SCM. The first display is reset when saved.
