Add Patches

I added a patch to the Jalview code for the first time. There's a bug with the annotations display preferences for the latest Jalview release (2.5), and Jim has implemented a patch with a temporary fix.

To add a patch in Eclipse:

1. Menu > Windows > Open perspective > Others...> Team synchronizing


2. Menu > Project > Apply patch...


3. Select Clipboard and paste text from patch file, click next, select file you want to patch and click finish

You can also add a patch using the "patch" command on the command line:

1. Open a terminal and change into the project directory.


2. Apply the patch with
   patch -p0 -i patchfile

I found more information on applying patches here:
