Comparing versions of a java project

My developer sent me the source code to the new version of an application that he updated for me. Is it possible for me to compare the source code from a previous version with this one to see what changes were made? I'm using Eclipse and OSX. Thanks in advance.

For comparing two files (or folders) on Eclipse, select both files (or folders), right click on any of them, and select Compare With option from the context menu.

In the future, you should look into using a version control system, like SVN (SmartSVN, TortoiseSVN, etc. etc...) This usually has an integrated tool to see differences from one version to the next. For now, something like BeyondCompare, WinDiff, UNIX command line diff, etc.

You can use a "diff tool" to generate a nicely readable report of differences for you. See some examples here: http://www.git-tower.com/blog/diff-tools-mac/
