Build 021
<h2>
What's new in this drop</h2>

<h3>
API changes</h3>

<ul>
<li>
Harmonized usage of the compare directions: Mine/Yours/Your, Incoming/Outgoing,
Left/Right. Everywhere <b>Left/Right </b>is used.</li>

<br>API changes: ContentMergeViewer, ImageMergeViewer, TextMergeViewer,
IMergeViewerContentProvider, MergeViewerContentProvider, ICompareConfiguration,
CompareConfiguration, IThreeWayInput, StructureDiffViewer, DiffNode, DiffTreeViewer
<li>
changed signature of <tt>IStructureCreator.save</tt> from <tt>void save(Object
input, IDocument document)</tt> to <tt>void save(Object input, IStructureComparator
structure)</tt></li>

<li>
made <tt>com.ibm.eclipse.ui.compare.structuremergeviewer.ArrayIterator</tt>
package private.</li>
</ul>

<h3>
API Additions</h3>

<ul>
<li>
Added new classes <tt>CompareOp</tt>, <tt>ResourceCompareOp, HistoryCompareOp</tt></li>

<br>All comparison operations can now be written as subclasses of <tt>CompareOp</tt>.
<tt>CompareUIPlugin.runCompareOp()</tt>
generically opens a <tt>CompareEditor</tt> for it. <tt>ResourceCompareOp</tt>
implements a universal two/threeway compare on desktop resources. <tt>HistoryCompareOp</tt>
compares a resource with its most recent edition from the history buffer.
Another example would be a <tt>RepositoryCompareOp</tt>.</ul>

<h3>
Other highlights</h3>

<ul>
<li>
background coloring in the TextMergeViewer no longer depend on StyledText
background coloring support.</li>

<li>
generic <i>copy-left-to-right</i> and <i>copy-right-to-left</i> action
