Answer 1

Right Click on the file and select "Compare With" > "Local History".

It will list the file history by date. Click on any date will display the history of the file content with current version.

This is what Eclipse supports about local history

@AndrzejKasp: Your system will crash if you tried to do so by any other way., I'm not sure why you would need that – Scythe

Answer 2

To view the resource history for a file:

1. Select the file in one of the navigation views. From the context menu, choose Team > Show History.
2. The History view will open and show a history for the selected CVS file.

Note: The History view also shows you all version and branch tags that are associated with the file.

Answer 3

You have to use SCM(SVN or GIT etc) to see the list of changes on your workspace. Thus you can synchronize the local workspace with the remote repository to see the list of changes.

There is no eclipse built in way to do this. However you can check the local history of a single file as answered by @Laxmikant Gurnalkar.

Also note that you can create local repositories in GIT and SVN.
