Description Gary Horen CLA 2006-01-11 18:23:43 EST
When we redistribute the com.sun.mirror types with JDT APT (finally licensed by Sun for general redistribution; see https://aptmirrorapi.dev.java.net), we need to include the copyright text below in the distribution. For 3.1.1 we will place it in the APT feature.xml; in 3.2 this goes away and I think it then belongs in the JDT feature.xml:

Daniel,

I don't have commit rights on the jdt feature. I think we are wrong since 3.2.
Comment 2 Dani Megert CLA 2009-12-09 12:24:37 EST
The whole info has to be shipped by the plug-in who uses those classes and a quick check seems to reveal that this is the case i.e. it's part of apt.core. Please check whether that info is up-to-date. We only need to update the future if an additional license is involved here.
Comment 3 Olivier Thomann CLA 2009-12-09 12:38:14 EST
Each file from these packages is properly tagged with the appropriate copyright.
com.sun.mirror.apt
com.sun.mirror.declaration
com.sun.mirror.type
com.sun.mirror.util

So I think we are fine. Also the about.html is referring to the copyright as well.
Closing as INVALID as this is not required.
