NAVIGATION TO A DATA DEFINITION IN A DIFF CONTEXT
First Claim
1. A method of navigating to a data definition in a diff context, the method comprising:
- via a processor, generating a first diff comparison between at least two versions of a first file, the first diff comparison identifying syntax of at least a first method identified in a portion of syntax that is different between the at least two versions of the first file, the first method referencing a first data definition in a second file, and the first diff comparison configuring syntax of the first method to be a first navigable block of data in at least one of the versions of the first file;
presenting to a user the at least two versions of the first file in a file difference window;
receiving a user input selecting the first navigable block of data; and
responsive to the user input, presenting to the user the second file in the file difference window.

Abstract
Navigation to a data definition in a diff context. A diff comparison can be generated between at least two versions of a first file. The diff comparison can identify syntax of at least a first method identified in a portion of syntax that is different between the at least two versions of the first file, the first method defined by a data definition in a second file. The diff comparison can configure syntax of the first method to be a first navigable block of data in at least one of the versions of the first file. At least two versions of the first file can be presented to a user in a file difference window, and a user input can be received selecting the first navigable block of data. Responsive to the user input, the second file can be presented to the user in the file difference window.

15. A computer program product for navigating to a data definition in a diff context, said computer program product comprising:
-
a computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon program code that, when executed, configures a processor to perform executable operations comprising; generating a first diff comparison between at least two versions of a first file, the first diff comparison identifying syntax of at least a first method identified in a portion of syntax that is different between the at least two versions of the first file, the first method referencing a first data definition in a second file, and the first diff comparison configuring syntax of the first method to be a first navigable block of data in at least one of the versions of the first file; presenting to a user the at least two versions of the first file in a file difference window; receiving a user input selecting the first navigable block of data; and responsive to the user input, presenting to the user the second file in the file difference window. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
