@Deprecated public class EditionSelectionDialog extends ResizableDialog
Deprecated.
Use an org.eclipse.team.ui.history.IHistoryPageSource in conjunction with the org.eclipse.team.ui.history.IHistoryView or a HistoryPageCompareEditorInput. For sub-file elements, a org.eclipse.team.ui.history.ElementLocalHistoryPageSource can be used.
A dialog where one input element can be compared against a list of historic variants (editions) of the same input element. The dialog can be used to implement functions like "Compare/Replace with Version" or "Compare/Replace from Local History" on workspace resources.

In addition it is possible to specify a subsection of the input element (e.g. a method in a Java source file) by means of a "path". In this case the dialog compares only the subsection (as specified by the path) with the corresponding subsection in the list of editions. Only those editions are shown where the subsection differs from the same subsection in another edition thereby minimizing the number of presented variants. This functionality can be used to implement "Replace from Local History" for the Java language.

Subsections of an input element are determined by first finding an IStructureCreator for the input's type. Then the method locate is used to extract the subsection.

Each edition (variant in the list of variants) must implement the IModificationDate interface so that the dialog can sort the editions and present them in a tree structure where every node corresponds one day.

The functionality is surfaced in a single function selectEdition.

Clients may instantiate this class; it is not intended to be subclassed.

 //add controls to composite as necessary
 return composite;
      Overrides:
