Question is about [1] being still used by anyone. I
haven't seen anyone using it/running it on git repos
like it has been in the past. Changing copyright year in
every file is not mandatory for Eclipse TLP since 2016
[2] and has never been mandatory for other projects
AFAIK.
we don't use the copyright tool in JGit and EGit
What I look for is removing this part of Eclipse
Releng plugin to gain the following benefits:
1. Drop dependency on EGit in Eclipse Platform and
thus circular build dependency.
2. Point 1 will allow to to build Eclipse Platform p2
repo in a way that includes all transitive dependencies
[3]
3. Point 2 will allow to switch third-party
dependencies to require rather than include and thus
support version ranges.
4. Point 3 will allow updates of third party
dependencies for security reasons to be far simpler as
currently it's a terrible experience [4]
5. Point 3 will simplify updates of third party
dependencies in Eclipse Platform releng as touching
features should be far less frequent event just cause
exact version is hardcoded in includes. e.g. [5]
The potential benefit is quite big so please come up
with proposals how/what to do and still improve our
procedures.
