I get to it through the context menu by right-clicking on a file. Exactly what it's called varies, I think depending on what version of Eclipse you have, whether you're using CVS or SVN plugins, and what version of said plugin you have, etc. First I'd look for "local history" under Team or Compare With. If it's not there, try Compare With -> History... or Team -> Show History. In the project I have open right now (Eclipse 3.4.0, CVS Team Provider 3.2.1) I can right click on a file and choose Compare With -> History ... and see that I've saved the file five times this afternoon, compare any two revisions, and copy sections to the current version using the normal Eclipse compare editor. This particular file hasn't been checked into version control yet, but for files that do have a repository history, the local history is commingled. I've used the same feature with SVN projects. Hope that helps!
