In a typical opensource fashion, I receive patches for IzPack.

I always review them carefuly, then I try to apply them on the latest source code tree. I am using either the BSD or the GNU implementation of patch.

For whatever reason, I can never apply the patches using these tools if they have been generated by Eclipse… The only way to merge is to launch Eclipse and apply the patch from there.

I haven’t yet managed to figure out why these patches cannot be applied using BSD or GNU patch. They really look like normal unified-style diff output…

Any idea?
