Patch Creator

https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/Grouper+patch+creator

• Experimental for now, should increase reliability and be a time saver

• a helpful feature is the ability to use AUTORUN  in grouper.installer.example.properties

• Demo Server is up to date.

Overall, we have had good feedback on the installer.

This patch creator should be helpful too
