When you're looking for duplication between 2 classes, that you're trying to merge, it would be useful if /diff/ had options to ignore :

(the easy part)
1/ comments differences
2/ import differences

(the less easy)
3/ simple expressions form differences
ex:

name = "John" + " " + "Doe";
equals
name = "John Doe";

nofSeconds = 3600 ;
equals
nofSeconds = 60 * 60 ;

we could much further, but this would be a nice start.

I'd lose the "less easy part" (that's a different animal), and replace easy #2 with spaces in strings. So the request should be "ignore./do not ignore spaces in strings and comments". Because IDEA can already do special handling on strings and comments.
