Compare to file outside of Jazz SCM

Is it possible to compare a loaded file to a file outside Jazz SCM, e.g. I have a file in the local file system that I want to compare to a versioned file in RTC. Is it possible? I think not, at least natively in RTC. You can certainly do so with other tools like BeyondCompare.

Much of the Jazz SCM file-compare mechanisms are inherited from Eclipse,
and are not Jazz SCM specific. In particular, just go to the Package
Explorer, and select two random files (independent of whether or not
that are under Jazz SCM control), right click on either one of them, and
select the "Compare with each other" option.

Of course, it will be a 2-way compare, not a 3-way compare, since for a
3-way compare, you'd need the SCM system to give you a "common ancestor".

Cheers,
Geoff
