+ * A simple Example of how to use the Java API.<br>
+ * This example demonstrates patching of deployment using Json Patch.<br>
+ * For generating Json Patches, refer <a href="http://jsonpatch.com/">http://jsonpatch.com</a>.
+ *
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li>Creates deployment hello-node with <b>terminationGracePeriodSeconds</b> value as 30.
+ *   <li>Patches deployment hello-node with <b>terminationGracePeriodSeconds</b> value as 27.
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <p>Easiest way to run this: mvn exec:java
+ * -Dexec.mainClass="io.kubernetes.client.examples.PatchExample"
