Interface ICompareNavigator

All Known Implementing Classes:
CompareEditorInputNavigator, CompareNavigator
public interface ICompareNavigator
A ICompareNavigator is used to navigate through the individual differences of a CompareEditorInput or another type of Compare container.

You can retrieve an object implementing the ICompareNavigator from a CompareEditorInput by calling getAdapter(ICompareNavigator) on the CompareEditorInput.

Although it is legal for clients to implement this interface, it is better to subclass CompareNavigator.
