[dsdp-tm-dev] Please update the Copyright Year in your new file templates

Dear committers,
 
with the start of the new year 2009, we should also be using "2009" as the creation year in new Copyright comments.
Please update your Preferences accordingly:
 
Window > Preferences > Java > Code Style > Code Templates : Comments > Files : Edit : use "2009", e.g.

- initial API and implementation
*******************************************************************************/

And, for the "Fix Copyrights" action in the Releng Tool:
Window > Preferences > Copyright Tool : Default Creation Year = 2009 / Default revision year = 2009
Comment e.g.

When editing files, try to think about setting the revision Copyright Year to 2009.
It's not too much of a problem if you forget (since we can use the "Fix Copyrights" tool later, but it's better if it's correct right away.
Thanks,
