hi,
thx jeff fort he
hint.
I found the tool @ http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_copyright_tool
and I have the
command in the context menu but for some reason it doesn’t do
squat…
… using eclipse
3.3 and the respective tool version from CVS.

there exists a "copyright
tool"
in the Eclipse project releng tooling. I don't remember all the
details
but like a search for copyright tool or something on the wiki or a
question on
the platform-releng mailing list would help.

hi fellow-suffers,
i guess i state the obvious
that no one is
really excited about the task to add the EPL header to ALL source files.
and I wonder if we can
automate it with a
tool that either exists or we may write on our own.
before we dive into this: I
wonder if it is
worth it.
hence the question: how far
along are u
with this task and do u think it is worth to invest the time.
I see two main functions for
this tool that
should work for the most common source files, e.g. .java, .properties,
.xml
(and other xml docs such as .xsd)
check if
the header is present and correct
if not: flag/report the file
add EPL
headers to files. this would need to be parameterized to some extend,
e.g. the
initial contributor.
for b) I at least see
continuous need to
avoid having to do this manually all the time even after initial
contribution.
I would also do a fairly
simple implementation,
such as a
normalize
target EPL header to A
normalize
file to be checked to B
text
search A in B
normalize would mean: strip
out all non
alpha-numeric chars including whitespace.
so, what is ur idea on the
subject?
PS: the eclipse plugin
javadoc can also
generate the file headers, if none are present.
but this
only for java files (AFAIK)
and wont
correct any present header either
