Using Directed Remediation - Patches

To apply a patch that you have downloaded from Sentinel Source’s directed remediation function, use the standard practices for your preferred IDE or other process.

If you have not previously downloaded and installed the Black Duck Libraries, you will need to download and install the library for your language (Java or C#), for the patch to work correctly.

Example: Eclipse

As an example, this is how to apply a directed-remediation patch in the Eclipse IDE.

  1. Right click the project or the file to which you want to apply the patch to.
