Hi,

I've completed the jdiff integration except for 2 issues. Should be resolved in 
a little while, at which point I'll submit a patch.  I just wanted to flag that 
the work is done in case someone else decides to implement the jdiff integration.

outstanding issues:

jdiff doesn't use jaxp.  I've provided a patch for jdiff to use jaxp - enables 
jdiff to use whatever parser ant is using.  the jdiff team expect to produce a 
new release incorporating this patch by late june, so I guess we wont get jdiff 
integrated till then.

plugins.  jdiff relies on a few other files besides the jdiff.jar.  I'm waiting 
to see how the maven plugin framework evolves re additional resources before 
implementing this bit.


Summary of jdiff integration.
there are two properties needed in project.properties that define which two 
versions you would like the difference report to be between.  These properties 
can be any CVS label, or CURRENT.  Current indicates that the difference should 
be with the sources on your file system.  The sources are obtained from cvs (if 
needed) before performing the difference.

possible todo, produce differece reports between every version in project.xml - 
apparently worth waiting for jelly?  no idea about this as I dont know what 
jelly does (yet).

If anyone is interested in seeing the work so far I can submit a patch now.  I 
may have to email the patched jdiff.jar directly (>100K) not sure what the mail 
list max size is.

cheers
Nathan
