In Eclipse, one can use Team -> Show Annotation to see the revision history at the side of editor window; My question is how to let such annotation to ignore whitespace changes?

[EDIT] This issue occurs to files containing any programming language, even text file containing English.

A vanilla Eclipse editor, as far as I know, will always show a change annotation, even if it's whitespace (you can only change the colours in which changes are displayed under General > Editors > Text Editors > Quick Diff). If you're talking about the compare editor, then you can simply right-click and check the "Ignore White Space" option.

To override this, you'd have to write your own plugin (in which case you might want to start by looking at the interface IQuickDiffReferenceProvider).

This has to be implemented by the team provider.

For Git, there is a setting in Preferences > Version Control (Team) > Git > Revision Information > Ignore whitespace changes that is off by default.
