I don't mean to make you wrong, Chris, but that file is, apparently, the
"patch" submitted by Rute Santos. As much as I like the enthusiasm of
Avinash to contribute to the project, I wouldn't like to make him work in
something that it's already done by someone else. I think the right thing
to do is comment in the ticket to tell Rute she needs to provide a .diff
file instead of the .java file. Don't you think it's a better way to go?

Rubén
