>             Project: Maven 2.x Patch Plugin
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>    Affects Versions: 1.1.1
>         Environment: Windows
>            Reporter: Anthony Whitford

> Your [FAQ|http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-patch-plugin/faq.html#Why_doesnt_this_work_on_Windows] explains why this plugin won't work on Windows:  it depends on the _GNU patch tool_.
> Why not use a patch library so that you don't rely on the GNU patch tool and then you will get full cross platform compatibility?
