! comparator log messages start with a line identifing comparator used, and date ran, and then a ! sequence of 3 (sometimes 4) lines describing the differences found by comparator. ! line 1 summary type (canonical, archive, etc), bundle, and version info ! line 2 comparison exact repositories being compared ! line 3 reason brief description of the differnce found (or errors or exceptions in processing) ! line 4 extraDetail a bit more details about errors found (variable, only a few messages have 4 lines) ! ! Rules on which messages are significant, or unexpected, are specified as three regex expresssions, ! one for each of ! the (first) three lines above (the forth, "extra detail" is not considered). All three rules, must ! "match" all three ! lines. By carefully crafting the rules, you can get some rule to apply too all comparator messages, ! (e.g. ignore any message ! stating the about.mappings files are different) or ignore only a certain message for a a certain ! bundle/version (e.g. ! ignore differences in build.xml file, but only in the org.eclipse.jst.jsf.doc.user bundle). ! Note that the three parts of a comparator message must match all three parts of an exclude rule, ! but for simplicity, if a rule part is empty or null, it is interpreted to mean "match anything" for ! that message part. comparator.aboutmappings.summary = comparator.aboutmappings.comparison = comparator.aboutmappings.reason = ^In about\\.mappings, the property \"0\" has different values.*$ comparator.createdbyant.summary = comparator.createdbyant.comparison = comparator.createdbyant.reason = ^.*The manifest header \"Created-By\" has different values.*$ comparator.testjar.summary = .*org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.tests.* comparator.testjar.comparison = comparator.testjar.reason = ^IOException comparing.*sourceartifactTestData_ClasspathDependencyTests_Test1_jar.*$ comparator.testcorruptjar.summary = .*org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.core.tests.model.* comparator.testcorruptjar.comparison = comparator.testcorruptjar.reason = ^IOException comparing.*sourceartifactworkspace_JavaSearch_corrupt_jar.*$ comparator.docbuildxml.summary = .*(\ org.eclipse.wst.xsl.sdk.documentation|\ org.eclipse.wst.xsl.doc|\ org.eclipse.wst.server.ui.doc.user|\ org.eclipse.jst.server.ui.doc.user|\ org.eclipse.jst.ws.jaxws.doc.user|\ org.eclipse.jst.jsf.doc.user|\ org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.doc|\ org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.doc.api\ ).*$ comparator.docbuildxml.comparison = ! exclude all doc, for now !comparator.docbuildxml.reason = ^Binary file build\\.xml: sizes differ by.*$
