A new feature has been added to enhance file and selection comparisons in Eclipse editors.
You can now compare the current file content or a selected portion with the content of the system clipboard.
This is particularly useful for quickly checking differences between a copied snippet and what's in your working file.

To use this, simply right-click within an editor and choose `Compare With → Clipboard`.

A comparison editor will open, highlighting differences between the selected text (or entire file if nothing is selected) and the clipboard content.

Additionally, you can use the `Replace With → Clipboard` action to replace the selected content or entire file with the clipboard contents directly.
