patches, diff and what?

[Glenn Golden <gg...@umich.edu>]

According to the jakarta source page
(http://jakarta.apache.org/site/source.html), patches are made using:

cvs diff -u Main.java >> patchfile.txt

Does anyone know if these patch files can then be "applied" to a working
directory to apply the changes?  What's the command?  And if it ends up
being some Unix thing, does anyone know of a windows version?

Thanks.

Glenn,

You will need to get a patch utility.  I use one from http://www.cygwin.com.
