To run Daisy Diff embedded in your application, you don't need the entire Jar file. A much smaller Jar file without Xerces and NekoHtml will suffice.

The DaisyDiff algorithm has been integrated in MediaWiki. However, it had major errors and has been pulled out. More info at www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Visual_Diff. See also github.com/cdauth/htmldiff.
