To create your next patch that can be used directly in Eclipse, install
subclipse, the Subversion Eclipse plugin, then right click on the
project needing to be patched. Under Team choose Create Patch. This will
bring up a wizard. On the first page you will be asked where you want to
save the patch. And on the next, there will be a check box for recursion
into sub-directories. Make sure that is checked and then click finish.
