You need to apply the patch to the source then compile the source. Applying the patch can be done in any modern IDE, but it may take some poking. In Eclipse, bring up the context menu on the project, team>>apply patch.
Or you can use the patch command directly (install svn first), see http://wiki.apache.org/solr/HowToContribute#Working_With_Patches Or you can get the Windows Explorer svn plugin and apply the patch through a context menu in Windows Explorer. <http://ariejan.net/2007/07/03/how-to-create-and-apply-a-patch-with-subversion/>Then you have to compile the code and drop the solr war file "in the right place", you'll replace your current solr.war in your servlet container hierarchy and restart your servlet. One note, when you build your solr.war file, it'll have a bunch of extra stuff (e.g. solr-<version number here>.war). Rename it to solr.war when you copy it. By the way, the patch is just a record of the source changes. It's even "human readable" with a bit of practice so go ahead and open it sometime, that'll take away some of the mystery. If you've ever used any of the unix-style diff programs it'll be very familiar.
