Any java-based diff tool as nice as the one provided by IDEA?

The diff window in SmartCVS (Java CVS Client) is equally nice. (IntelliJ uses the core of SmartCVS, isn't it ?)

Any stand-alone program that is dedicated to do this job?

You do know you can compare non-java files with IDEA's diff? Just select two files in your project view, right click and "compare two files". Also there is a request to make the diff a standalone program:

I have never used it but Guiffy seems to be pure-java: http://www.guiffy.com/
IDEA's diff looks a bit nicer though.

Not in this case.

The latest SmartCVS contains a SmartFC (file compare), which is an
independent application from SmartCVS.

Which version of IDEA? Cannot find it in 3.0.5

It's been a long time since I used 3.0.5. You probably need at least 4.0 and I'm on 4.5.2 myself.
