The Apply Patch process is owned by the Eclipse Compare component, we
do not get to insert any code into that process.

What is happening is all patches made from Subclipse contain absolute
path names. The Apply Patch wizard has a feature to handle this. You
need to use the drop-down on the final page to remove elements from
the path until all of the check boxes appear on the files and the
patch can apply.

We have an open issue with Subversion to enhance the API so we can
produce patches with relative path names.
