--------------------------------------------
Going to commit the code this weekend or during the next week :-)
> Port Myers algorithm from [collections]
> ---------------------------------------
>
> Key: SANDBOX-486
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SANDBOX-486
> Project: Commons Sandbox
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Commons Text
> Reporter: Bruno P. Kinoshita
> Priority: Minor
>
> As suggested by Luc \[[#1]\], we could port the Myers algorithm from
> \[collections\] to \[text\]. I haven't thoroughly studied the paper or the
> algorithm, but if I recall correctly, the first time I read it in
> \[collections\], my impression was that it was some kind of diff algorithm.
> Good places to start looking for more information are the algorithm paper
> \[[#2]\], the package javadocs from \[collections\] \[[#3]\], and from this
> Wikipedia article \[[#4]\].
> Oh, and from the \[collection\]'s source code as well, of course \[[#5]\].
> Cheers,
> Bruno
