I run svn diff and have the content diff result in a text file.
Since the operation is slow I don’t want to diff again using Eclipse.

I need to view the result in a better manner for comparison, and what I found is Colordiff.
I would like to ask are there any plugins in Notepad++ for the same purpose,
or are there any plugins in Eclipse to view the diff result with formatting?

(The scenario is I am on a branch which has some core changes and some global replacement. I need to compare this branch with the original.
With the help of a script, I filter out some of the global replacement, but still there are too many to check without help from tools.)

    If you are already using Eclipse, you should setup it with an Eclipse plugin for Subversion like Subversive or Subclipse. Both don’t color the diff nicely, so if that is the main point, you should add an external diff tool to the definition (here for Subversive):

    • Open Window > Preferences > Team > SVN > Diff Viewer
      enter image description here
    • Define a new diff entry enter image description here

    See the similar answer to a question I have asked in the past about intergration of a merge tool into Eclipse: https://stackoverflow.com/a/7749442/41540
