Hi,

I would like to create patch files based on diff. We need functionality
like that of the "create patch" menu entry of the SVN/CVS plugins
without installing them. Is it possible to do that with Eclipe Team API
or compare API? Is there any other better way to do that?

Thanks.

I'm afraid the answer is "no". Creating a patch takes place in CVS internals. You can check what's happening there by looking at GenerateDiffFileAction.java. But as I said it's an internal class, there is no API to create a patch. An effort had been made to address this issue, but unfortunately we had to abort it. The compare API can only be used to apply a patch.

Hi Tomasz,

Then, we will do it via CVS/SVN.
Thanks for your reply.

Best Regards
