- * Predicate that compares the input object with the one stored in the predicate using a comparator.

- *
- * The input variable <code>TWO</code> in compared to the stored variable <code>ONE</code> using

+<body>
+This package provides classes to compare two objects sequences.
+
+<p>
+The two sequences can hold any object type, as only the
+<code>equals</code> method is used to compare the elements of the
+sequences. It is guaranteed that the comparisons will always be done
+as <code>o1.equals(o2)</code> where <code>o1</code> belongs to the
+first sequence and <code>o2</code> belongs to the second
+sequence. This can be important if subclassing is used for some
+elements in the first sequence and the <code>equals</code> method is
+specialized.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Comparison can be seen from two points of view: either as giving the
+smallest modification allowing to transform the first sequence into
+the second one, or as giving the longest sequence which is a
+subsequence of both initial sequences. The <code>equals</code> method
+is used to compare objects, so any object can be put into
+sequences. Modifications include deleting, inserting or keeping one
+object, starting from the beginning of the first sequence. Like most
+algorithms of the same type, objects transpositions are not
+supported. This means that if a sequence <code>(A, B)</code> is
+compared to <code>(B, A)</code>, the result will be either the
+sequence of three commands <code>delete A</code>, <code>keep B</code>,
+<code>insert A</code> or the sequence  <code>insert B</code>,
+<code>keep A</code>, <code>delete B</code>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The package uses a very efficient comparison algorithm designed by
+Eugene W. Myers and described in his paper: <a
+href="http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/courses/dd/papers/diff.ps">An O(ND)
+Difference Algorithm and Its Variations</a>. This algorithm produces
+the shortest possible {@link
+org.apache.commons.collections.list.difference.EditScript edit script} containing
+all the {@link org.apache.commons.collections.list.difference.EditCommand
+commands} needed to transform the first sequence into the second
+one. The entry point for the user to this algorithm is the {@link
+org.apache.commons.collections.list.difference.SequencesComparator
+SequencesComparator} class.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+As explained in Gene Myers paper, the edit script is equivalent to all
+other representations and contains all the needed information either
+to perform the transformation, of course, or to retrieve the longest
+common subsequence for example.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+If the user needs a very fine grained access to the comparison result,
+he needs to go through this script by providing a visitor implementing
+the {@link org.apache.commons.collections.list.difference.CommandVisitor
+CommandVisitor} interface.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Sometimes however, a more synthetic approach is needed. If the user
+prefers to see the differences between the two sequences as global
+<code>replacement</code> operations acting on complete subsequences of
+the original sequences, he will provide an object implementing the
+simple {@link org.apache.commons.collections.list.difference.ReplacementsHandler
+ReplacementsHandler} interface, using an instance of the {@link
+org.apache.commons.collections.list.difference.ReplacementsFinder
+ReplacementsFinder} class as a command converting layer between his
+object and the edit script. The number of objects which are common to
+both initial arrays and hence are skipped between each call to the user
+{@link
+org.apache.commons.collections.list.difference.ReplacementsHandler#handleReplacement
+handleReplacement} method is also provided. This allows the user to keep
+track of the current index in both arrays if he needs so.
+</p>
+
