Which includes creating small, focused patches whenever possible.
Those are much easier to evaluate and handle than "big bang" patches.

Also, including automated tests, and documentation when appropriate
(not that Tika has lots of that ATM) with your patches will make it
much easier for us to evaluate and trust your patches - so that will
increase their chances of being accepted and applied quickly.

I also use the svn command-line for all "serious" operations. IDEs
have nice diffs and history displays, but it's too easy, IMHO, to
overlook something when using them for svn operations.
