Allow different profiles to be compared
I typically create several alternate profiles - often based on some earlier profile, either to evaluate diferent components or to accomplish a particular task. It would be great to be able to compare and merge the components (in exactly the way that the standard Java source code structure revision/comparison works at the moment, I guess!).

Thanks for your feedback. This is an interesting suggestion, but it will take a while until we put it on our plan. In the meantime, since our profiles are saved in plain text, you may use a workaround: Copy the (local) .yoxos files into a workspace, select any 2 of them, then right-click > compare with > each other.
There you have your standard compare dialog.
You may have to change the default editor for .yoxos files in your IDE.

ah - an excellent idea ! I didn't even think to look at the .yoxos files to see if a simple diff would work. Of course, the ordering of identical components may often be different - but a straight text compare will definitely work for small updates. :)
