Either search this forum or Google the Internet on applying .diff patch, java patch, etc.

In a nutshell:

1) You apply a patch manually by cut and paste.
2) You apply a patch by using Team -> Apply Patch (Eclipse)
3) You apply a patching using Tortoise SVN

Seriously, you can learn a lot these day by simply using Google and a few good keywords.

thats got to be the most usless help i have ever read.
no person who is new to eclipse will ever be able to folow that 100%.

patching seems to be a big problem with alot of people.
anyone care to create a more detailed help file?

I find that very informative says exactly what you need to do

Right click on L2_Gameserver. Select Team. Select Apply Patch.

1) install Linux or FreeBSD or NetBSD or OpenBSD
2) use the SVN command to checkout the SVN repository
3) use the patch command to insert the patch
4) build the project

"svn co uri" to checkout a repository
"patch -p0 < file.diff" (or -p1, depend on the patch)
"ant" to build the project

that's not very difficult... (I'd advise Linux as you'll find a J2SE SDK from Sun, unlike *BSD who have to rely on other Java implementations)
