Constructor Detail

UserDefinedDiffTool

public UserDefinedDiffTool(String name,
                           String path,
                           String cmd)

Creates the diff tool

Parameters:

name - the name

path - the path

cmd - the command

Method Detail

getName

public String getName()

Specified by:

getName in interface ExternalDiffTool

Returns:

the diff tool name

getPath

public String getPath()

The path of the diff tool.

The path to a pre-defined external diff tool can be overridden by specifying difftool.<tool>.path in a configuration file.

For a user defined diff tool (that does not override a pre-defined diff tool), the path is ignored when invoking the tool.

Specified by:

getPath in interface ExternalDiffTool

Returns:

the diff tool path

getCommand

public String getCommand()

The command of the diff tool.

A pre-defined external diff tool can be overridden using the tools name in a configuration file. The overwritten tool is then a user defined tool and the command of the diff tool is specified with difftool.<tool>.cmd. This command must work without prepending the value of getPath() and can sometimes include tool parameters.

Specified by:

getCommand in interface ExternalDiffTool

Returns:

the diff tool command

setPath

public void setPath(String path)

Overrides the path for the given tool. Equivalent to setting difftool.<tool>.path.

Parameters:

path - the new diff tool path
