Hi all
I checked this out and
made a small documentation at http://wiki.eclipse.org/How_to_use_Eclipse_copyright_tool

Betreff: Re: [smila-dev] tool for EPL source headers
Hmmm, it has worked for us in the past. Not sure what
is going on for you. Perhaps posting to the releng forum would get some
hints.

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
