Comparing two Files

I want to compare two Files, one of them might be different(just a changed character or a whole paragraph more).
Comparing the length or the last modified date is not working when there are small differences.
Is there a fast way to read the checksum or something like that, so that i don't have to open the documents to look by my own.
Thanks for helping me!

Read the files in using different instances of java.util.zip.CheckedInputStream, then compare their checksums.

I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
