Compare Merge Viewer Example: Merging Word Documents

I just finished writing up a Wiki article describing how to implement a custom (i.e. non-text based) compare merge viewer. The example I used was a Word document comparison. Hopefully I'll be able to get the code into the Eclipse 3.5 stream once floodgates open for 3.5 development but, in the meantime, there's a link in the article from which you can download the bundle (it's a fragment of the org.eclipse.compare plug-in). The code is compatible with 3.3 and 3.4 so if you are interested in either seeing how to implement a custom compare merge viewer or you want to try out the Word document compare viewer, check out the article.

Thanks Michael! This is very cool stuff. Are you planning to implement support Excel too? ;-)
