DiffJ is a commandline application that compares Java files based on content, not whitespace, comments, or reordering of types, methods, or fields.

Its output is based on the Unix program diff, and it also has a "brief" output format for a concise summary of what changed. It can work on directories recursively, looking for matching filenames, like "diff -r dir0 dir1".

DiffJ is primarily for developers refactoring and reformatting Java code, for which most difference tools tend to produce misleading results regarding the type and extent of changes.

What's New in This Release:
This version includes the latest release of java-diff, the library that does the comparison of code within methods, constructors, and field initializers.
As a result, a bug in code comparison has been fixed.
