Clone Liferay Portal source folder (Optional/Recommended)

% cd LIFERAY_HOME
% cp  -r  liferay-portal-src-6.1.10-ee-ga1  liferay-portal-src-6.1.10-ee-ga1-patched

Configure patching tool source profile

Create/update patch-source profile properties file "LIFERAY_HOME/patching-tools/patch-source.properties".

patching.mode=source
jdk.version=jdk6
source.path=../portal-src/liferay-portal-src-6.1.10-ee-ga1-patched

 

NOTE: The default patchin tool binary profile is named "default.properties".

Install patched source files

% cd LIFERAY_HOME/patching-tool
% ./patching-tool patch-source  install

Update Eclipse Project file (Optional/Recommended)

If you are using the Eclipse IDE, revise the Eclipse project name for the patched source folder to distinguish it from the baseline source.

One approach is to suffix the project name with "-patched".

Hence, project "portal-master" becomes "portal-trunk-patched".

<projectDescription>       
<name>portal-master-patched</name>       
</projectDescription>
