Enable CVS quick diff for text and java files via the General > Editors > Quick Diff preference. Then try the following scenarios:

  1. Open a file and make changes to it. You will see the quickdiff annotations marking the changes. Next, run Replace With > Latest from HEAD. The annotations are removed and the file is clean.
  2. Same as 1 but this time instead commit the file. The quickdiff annotations are removed and the file is clean.
  3. Checkout two copies of the same project. Open file1 from both projects. Make changes to file1 in project1 and commit the change. Synchronize project2 and file1 from project1 will show the quickdiff annotations for the new incoming changes.
  4. Same as previous but this time actually update the file. The files quickdiff annotations are removed and the file is clean.
