I assume you have used ant create-component and now building it.
this way no patches from the Jira will overwrite.
you can add and existing entity def to your component and modify it or
you can use the extend-entity
if you use and entity with the same name as one that exist your, since
it is loaded last will overwrite the previous entity def loaded.
