i guess that would presume that the source file i changed was the one in SVN already. I took the code from the example and did stuff to it for my own app here, and the changed i added were to my app, not the jackrabbit src i suppose i should go and read up on patch files :-) but we have never used them here. i am sure someone with commit rights to jackrabbit can copy and paste that code into place. I have a short unit test for those methods too of course. cheers dave On 03/05/2005, at 4:21 PM, Brian Moseley wrote: > Dave Sag wrote: > > >> sorry mate but I have no idea how to generate a patch file, or >> even how to apply one? i usually just update my src using CCS >> (SVN in this case) and never bother about patch files. >> > > svn diff > my.patch >
