I usually do it from the commandline. From the top of the source tree type :

svn diff > derby-xxxx_diff.txt and also
svn stat > derby-xxxx_diff.txt

where xxxx is the JIRA issue for converting the test (which you should 
create if you haven't already).
Attach these files to the Jira Issue along with a description of your 
patch and what tests you ran.
Check the 'Patch Available' box so folks know your patch is ready for 
review.

for more advice on patches.

Note:With the svn plugin for eclipse I see an option Team-> Create Patch 
option but I have never tried it and I don't see how to get the svn stat 
output from within eclipse.
