Robin knows the Eclipse integration better than I, but we may be missing the feature to compare the working directory revision to the last committed revision (or the index revision).

I'm pretty sure the compare editor is available in the History view (Team -> Show resource in History) by double clicking the file path when a commit node is selected. But that's obviously only historical diffs.
