Xdelta implemented in java
Sourceforge project link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/javaxdelta.
This library implements Josh MacDonalds xdelta binary diff algorithm in java. More information on this algorithm can be found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/xdelta.
This implementation uses the GDIFF file format for storing binary deltas. There is also a patcher that takes a source file and a patch file in this format and produces the original file.
Requirements: Note that in "2.0" (this current release), new requirements are:
- GNU Trove 2.0 or later is required. The package now uses GNU Trove's primitive hashtable for storing checksum information. See:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=39235
- JDK 1.4 is now required for runtime for binary diffs.
- JDK 1.5 is required for the com.nothome.delta.text package
TODO:
- Possibly write stand-alone long-int hashtable
- Paging of checksum data
- Support JDK 1.4
