Class CustomThreeWayMergeAdapter

java.lang.Object
  com.starteam.viewcomparemerge.FileMergeAdapter
      com.starteam.viewcomparemerge.CustomThreeWayMergeAdapter

public class CustomThreeWayMergeAdapter
extends FileMergeAdapter

Facilitates the use of an external merge tool to resolve a Three-way file merge condition. For example:

 String app = "C:\\MyApp\\MyApp.exe";
 String commandline = "-s $source -t $target -a $ancestor -out $result";
 Note that each replaceable parameter (e.g. $source) must be separated from the next
 using the string separator ' \t', i.e. Blank space followed by TAB
 so for instance the example above needs to be annotated thus...
                                ...     -s \t$source \t -t \t $target \t ...
 FileMergeAdapter tool = new CustomThreeWayMergeAdapter(diff, app, commandline);
 int exitCode = tool.merge();
 if (exitCode == 0) {
        System.out.println("The merge was successful!");
 } else {
        System.out.println("MyApp failed with exit code: " + exitCode);
 }
