Sorry, Michael I used Mylyn to attach the patch. Mylyn also attachted
the "context" of the issue.
A Mylyn context contains only these files which are related to the
issue.
This makes it possible to the eclipse ui to hide all projects and
files which are not related to
the issue. I was not aware that it will attach the context as .zip
attachment.
But as it seems it is not possible to attach files and grant the ASF.
I will attach the two patches again via the jira web interface.
Mylyn is still a great tool, maybe you would like to take a look at it.
It integrates jira into eclipse. There is a few for issues and
special editors
to edit the issues. It is also possible to create new issues.
