You can create a patch file by using
- Command line (see the howto below)
- Eclipse internal command (when using Eclipse Create Patch Wizard choose your ofbiz project to avoid the 2 1st lines in the patch)
- A tool like Tortoise (on Windows only)
We prefer that you build your patch from the root as it's easier for commiters to merge your change. So please make your patch files from the OFBIZ_HOME directory (usually ofbiz/) and with relative file paths.
"Relative file paths" means tha in your patch file names should look like these :
applications/party/widget/partymgr/PartyScreens.xml
framework/webtools/config/WebtoolsErrorUiLabels.properties
and should not have file names like: C:\myfiles\ofbiz\applications\party\widget\partymgr\PartyScreens.xml
