| [eclipse.org-committers] opinion wanted: check in generated code or not vs.copyright notice |
|
hi, I just wanted to get your opinion on this subject: we have some generated code (JAXB) that we
use in the SMILA project. in the past we have just checked in these
source files in our non-eclipse projects as they change infrequently and are
needed for the developers to write their code. now, at eclipse we need to provide a proper
copyright notice but unfortunately the code generator wont let us add a
custom jdoc where we could place that. modifying the generated source files to add
the notice is cumbersome and probably tends to get forgotten. generating during build is technically
feasible but from the developers point of view not an ideal situation as the
code would be cleaned on every build and u would have to make at least a
partial build to start developing.
so, have anybody of u crossed this issue as
well? how have u dealt with it in regard to
IP cleanliness? bearing the discussion in the use of this in
mind but also seeing eclipse’s warning to be frugal with opening bugs I didn’t
want to open one just yet, but will in case the discussion gets lively. Kind regards Thomas Menzel @ brox IT-Solutions GmbH |
