  • 0

I am forced to use Eclipse in a new project, but my heart still longs for IntelliJ which I have been using exclusively since before Eclipse was born.

I am getting used to it, but one feature I really miss is “compare to clipboard”.

For example, if you see two similar methods in a class, you can copy one to the clipboard, then compare to the other, and it makes it easy to refactor.

Is there any Eclipse plugin for “Compare to Clipboard”?

    Standard Eclipse does not have a Compare to Clipboard option, but there is an Eclipse plugin which allows you to do that: AnyEdit tools.

    I just tried it and it seems to be what you are looking for: it adds the option Compare to Clipboard to the popup menu of the editor and the file explorer views. Comparison is done either on the selected text or the whole file.
