build I20021023 I was trying to apply the patch for bug 22621. - in package explorer, selected JFace's Dialog.java - compared with patch, etc. - it compared OK, showing the difference properly - hit Finish - it created a new folder structure, replicating the path to the file under the dialogs folder: org.eclipse.jface/src/org/eclipse/jface/dialogs/src/org/eclipse/jface/dialogs - this contained Dialog.java and Dialog.java.rej - the new Dialog.java had 0 bytes, Dialog.java.rej had essentially the same contents as the patch - the original Dialog.java was unaffected - went back and selected the project, org.eclipse.jface, instead of Dialog.java - tried to apply the patch again - this time it worked
There is some indication that there's a path (because the patch was actually created for/on the project. It would have patched Dialog.java correctly if the "Ignore leading path name segments" was 5. The UI should automatically set the at value since it matched Dialog.java from the patch with the one in the workspace. Another alternative would be to show no match until the user correctly sets the leading segments value. Not critical enough for 2.1-M3
