Trick for handling newlines:

If the file in the repository has different nl chars from the one your comparing with in your workspace, you can easily just switch the workspace one to match: highlight the file, and use the file menu -> convert line delimeters to... and switch them to match.

I think Thilo's point was that using Eclipse compare, you *can* see which lines, even which parts of lines changed. Not sure if the Eclipse SVN plugin lets you compare 2 revisions, though...

Yes, that file had tabs which made it unreadable. On the other hand, if
you use Eclipse, it is not at all hard to see what changed as the
structural compare will show you only logical differences.

For me, the Eclipse Java Structure Compare on SofaTest.java just tells
me that testMain() and testSofaDataStream() have changed, it doesn't
tell me what in those methods has changed.

Not sure I follow you. I admit that the "ignore whitespace" option is less than perfect (it can't seem to handle newlines correctly, which is a pain).
