API for IDz compare functionality (and a save dialog when using the SWAP button in case of sources are in dirty state)

It would be useful to have an API for the IDz compare including the possibility to edit one or both of the two compared sources (similar to the EditorOpener.getInstance().browse/.open).
Additionally there is a problem using the SWAP button. When you compare two files with each other (edit mode) and you change the files in the compare-editor these changes are eliminated when you swap the both views and you didn't save them before.
Actually the changes are kept when you perform a save before, but it is a little bit annoying that you might lose all your modifications when you forget to do this before you swap the two views. So, at least a dialog should appear when changes have been made asking whether the files should be saved.

    Hello, this appears to be an issue with Eclipse, not z/OS Explorer. Please open a defect against Eclipse to address this.
