Comparing a java file with clipboard opens a compare view in "text compare" or "java source compare" mode depending on where it is lauched from

[GoogleCodeExporter]

On the same java file:
- launching from navigator view (Compare with -> Clipboard from navigator
contextual menu) opens a view in "java source compare" mode.
- launching from editor (Compare with -> Clipboard from editor contextual menu)
opens a view in "text compare" mode, and it is not possible to switch to "java
source compare" mode.

Both should open the editor in "java source compare" mode.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. On a java file in the navigator view, choose Compare with -> Clipboard from
contextual menu => opens a compare view in "java source compare" mode
2. On the same java file opened in java editor, choose Compare with ->
Clipboard from contextual menu => opens a compare view in "text compare" mode
