How to compare files? Notepad++ to the rescue

Have been using Notepad++ for quite a while now, but have not dived into the various plugins to much yet. But today I needed to compare two files and had no available comparators, or…could have used Rational Application Developer – but that is overkill for comparing two Jython scripts. But then Notepadd++ plugins to the rescue. Found this blogpost http://www.cottonrohrscheib.com/blog/notepad-compare-plugin/, downloaded the plugin and followed this simple how-to installing it. Up and running in less than five minutes!
