A patch file is a ZIP fie containing a .patch
manifest file and one or more bundles in a repository
folder. You will either be given this patch file or you will download it from FuseSource.
Before you can use the patch file to update the containers in a fabric, you need to make the updated bundles available to the containers. Fuse Management Console does this by uploading them into a Fabric Ensemble's Maven repository. All of the bundles in the ensemble's Maven repository are available for use by all of the containers in the fabric.
