Guiffy is a File Compare Diff tool, Merge tool, and Folder compare tool all-in-one. Its cross-platform, comes with a command line interface, and includes an API package. Guiffy recognizes over 150 source file encoding formats. And, Guiffy's Trustworthy 3-way merge, SureMerge, was designed from day 1 to avoid all the problems that plague other 3-way diff based merge tools.
Guiffy's Diff tool ComparEdit features are very handy for when you need to find a change made in one version of a file and include it in the other --- maybe a bug fix. Edit operations with shortcuts are also available for including a change and advancing automatically to the next change. Guiffy includes an integrated Folder compare capability. From the Folder Compare Tree view, a double-click quickly does a file compare in another window. And, a right-click brings up a menu of choices for merging, copying, or deleting, etc.
The Guiffy SureMerge Eclipse and NetBeans plugins support file and folder compares and 3-way merging. The Guiffy plugins also work with CVS or SVN. And, our plugins are implemented using Guffy's API --- so, they're much faster than other plugins that are implemented via a command line interface executable. Plus, our plugins work with Eclipse or NetBeans on any platform (Windows, MacOS X, Linux, Unix, ...) --- not just the platform of the executable application. With the guiffy.inside API package you can build Guiffy into your applications, applets, or servlets. Interfaces for running the Guiffy GUI in a separate window (Frame) or within your application window (Panel) are available. Engines for running the file compare, quick verifiers, folder/file compare, 3-way merge, and for generating compare reports in HTML are provided as well for non-GUI, or server-side applications.
Guiffy's Java-based technology goes way beyond simple ASCII text files and includes support of: UTF8, UTF16, Big5, JIS, Shift-JIS, and EBCDIC (just to name a few). And, the encoding format can be specified separately for each file. Plus, an optional Auto-Mode will detect the Encoding format for you. You can compare/merge and edit source files with text from all over the world. You're in good hands with Guiffy's Java-based UNICODE support and fonts such as Bitstream Cyberbit or Arial Unicode MS.
