[Myfaces Wiki] Update of "Contributing Patches" by MikeKienenberger

Dear Wiki user,

You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Myfaces Wiki" for change notification.

The following page has been changed by MikeKienenberger:
http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces/Contributing_Patches

New page:
=== Create a Jira Issue ===

Open a jira issue describing your contribution, then attach files to the issue.

Brand new files can be attached as-is.

Changed files need to be submitted in unified diff format.

=== Create a "unified diff" patch ===

On unix, you can use "diff -u" to create raw patch files.
Eclipse's SVN module and TortoiseSVN have "Create patch" menu options.
In unix/windows you can also use the command "svn diff" to generate a diff with all your changes, including new files providing you have used the "svn add" command to mark them to be added in the svn repository beforehand.

After you have attached your files to the jira issue, mark the issue as "Patch Provided."
