How to apply a patch to a Java project?

Question

The patch is for nutch 0.9: http://cvs.tty.org/~butch/blog/nutch_0.9_OR.patch

How should I apply the patch correctly?

OS is windows XP

More specifically, I'm using eclipse to debug a nutch project.

Here is my trial:

D:\nutch-0.9.bak>patch -p0 < nutch_0.9_OR.patch
Hmm...  Looks like an ed script to me...

File to patch:

Answer 1

Since you mentioned Eclipse - right-click on the project, go to Team -> Apply patch.

Answer 2

You should use right click on project, Team/Apply patch.

The third step of the wizard (review patch) contains a Patch Content section where the modified source files are listed.
