That would be great! It would be best to have someone from the Java Team review/sponsor but, if none of them are available, I am willing to do that.
fwiw, I did a diff and its the same source in the linked jar and the
link I gave. Also, looking at java-diff-utils that Andrej mentioned, is
actually a fork from the google code.
Thanks for doing that extra check and good to know! The fork (as well as the line vs character thing) would probably be good to mention in the package description so it's clear for everyone. I'd also consider adding the "google" at the front of the package name (or something else) to easily distinguish it from the one already in the repository and prevent confusion from users.
