Answer 1

Try enabling "Ignore white space" under Window : Preferences : General : Compare/Patch. Also avoid doing Source : Format or Source : Cleanup before doing your compare.

Edit: Also, it's possible to export/import formatting preferences in eclipse. You may want to ask the author of the code if they would be willing to provide their exported preferences.
