Well, The patch itself is a plain text by which a patch tool use to update a project source, it's editable with any text editor. You understand by this that you have to build the project yoursef after applying the patch.
In general you need to: - Download an IDE with svn client, Eclipse is a great one. - Create a project from SVN by connecting to the Solr svn repo at http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/solr and checkout the version that fulfill your requirements. Solr1.4 is under 'tag' folder. - Download the patch you want to be applied. - In your IDE, right click (not left click :) ) on the src folder, and select 'team' or 'versioning' or what ever to apply the patch. - Build using Eclipse or directly with Ant from the project folder in the command line. After successful build you can take your new brand Solr from dist folder located in the project home. I hope that this very very quick guide will be of help to you. I suggest that you read further on Java development life-cycle and tools.
