Hello Everyone,

The default CVS team provider for Eclipse has a "Create Patch"
functionality, but it appears WSAD does not. Does anyone use any special
workarounds for this issue? I've seen some scripts that provide a
similar sort of functionality around p4diff
(http://maillist.perforce.com/pipermail/perforce-user/2006-May/018587.ht
ml), but has anyone integrated that into Eclipse?

As a brief description, here is how it works in CVS:

Eclipse plans on having generic support for "Create Patch," but the bug
has seen no movement since 2004:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=68690. 

If you are interested in such a feature, please mail Perforce,
referencing issue number "CALL#1456122". They mentioned the more people
requesting a feature, the more likely it is it will make it into the
next release.

Thanks,
Ingo
