3. cd /your/home/patches

4. edit patch-config-wildfly-CR2-patch.xml

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<patch-config xmlns="urn:jboss:patch-config:1.0">
   <name>wildfly-CR2</name>
   <description>WildFly 8.1.0.CR2 patch</description>
   <cumulative  />

   </element>
   <generate-by-diff />
</patch-config>

5. patch-gen --applies-to-dist=/your/home/Downloads/wildfly/wildfly-8.0.0.Final --updated-dist=/your/home/Downloads/wildfly/wildfly-8.1.0.CR2 --patch-config=patch-config-wildfly-CR2-patch.xml --output-file=wildfly-8.1.0.CR2.patch.zip

sh tool.sh --create-template --one-off my-custom-patch

sh tool.sh --create-template --cumulative my-custom-patch

compare distributions

sh tool.sh --applies-to-dist=/path/to/old/distribution --updated-dist=/path/to/new/distribution --patch-config=patch-config-my-custom-patch.xml --output-file=my-custom-patch.zip
