title: How to apply an existing patch to your eclipse ide
body: <p>I'm trying to get my eclipse set up on ubuntu but I've run into an incredibly annoying bug that when pressing F2 to bring up a javadoc popup all further keypresses are blocked until i click the mouse on some other ui element.</p>
  
  <p>The bug itself is viewable here - <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=353305" rel="nofollow">https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=353305</a>
  and there is a patch provided here - <a href="http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.swt.git/commit/?id=a7026b1b456498a95fd3935ab7b613f4c353caa4" rel="nofollow">http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.swt.git/commit/?id=a7026b1b456498a95fd3935ab7b613f4c353caa4</a></p>
  
  <p>I've found two articles about patching features in eclipse

  <p>I began creating a new feature patch but both of these article seem to assume that you magically will know what values to enter for "Feature ID" and "Feature version". I just have this patch linked above, I have no idea of the feature ID or version.</p>
  
  <p>If someone could lay out some easy to follow steps that would be great, and maybe a bit of background I fee like there is a massive gap in knowledge here, I mean I'm really stuck as to where to look for this info.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks </p>
