Would be nice indeed but hard to fit just the copyright case and not open a generic replace door here. Also, a single regex find/replace would not work as Copyright wxyz becomes Copyright wxyz, 2007. |
Add a Save Action that updates the copyright date whenever a document is saved. Updating should only be performed in header comments (as defined by the code formatter). Probably needs a configurable regular expression to match the copyright date, e.g. Copyright \(c\) (?:\d{4}, )?(\d{4}) for the standard EPL header. The Save Action could then simply replace group 1 of a match with the current year (unless it's the same).
