From the workbench users guide:

Working with patches

Patches allow developers to share work without storing it in a
repository. This is helpful when a developer wants to contribute to a
project that is shared through a repository but does not have write
access to the repository. In this situation, the developer can create
a patch and either e-mail it to a developer who does have write access
or attach it to a bug in the bug reporting system used by the project,
depending on the process defined by the project. A developer that does
have write access can then apply the patch to the project and commit
the changes.

You have to remember that the IDLDE is not the only thing going on
here. The Eclipse environment was created for developers using things
like Java and C/C++. So there are a lot of bells and whistles that we
can ignore, no matter how tempting...
