Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Migrate to EPL 2.0
|
Hi,
I used https://github.com/javaee/copyright-maven-plugin several
times on various repos (including some with 20k+ files). Main benefit of
this plugin which I see is that it can be plugged into the build, so
once headers are correct, the build can be told to fail if some newly
added file contains wrong or no copyright.
thanks,
--lukas

Hi,
I wonder if anyone started seriously looking at migrating their project
from EPL 1.0 to EPL 2.0?
The FAQ says we should:
https://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-2.0/faq.php#h.60mjudroo8e5
Also, Wayne suggested that there will be pressure applied, e.g., perhaps
a release train participation requirement.
But the FAQ doesn't say much about how to do this:
https://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-2.0/faq.php#h.tci84nlsqpgw
The instructions are "So, a project can use the new version by simply
updating the file headers and notices." But how simple is that
really? Just changing all the copyright headers in all the files
sounds simple at face value.
https://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-2.0/faq.php#h.q72cnghf29k0
But I have several thousand files!
Is everyone doing this or planning to do this manually, or via various
forms of scripts that we each author ourselves? Of course we'll all
diligently increment every bundle and feature version (by the
appropriate amount) remembering to keep the POMs in sync. And we won't
overlook the copyright element in each feature. Nor will we overwrite
each about.html with the new one (where is the definitive version of
that anyway?), accidentally replacing any Third Party Content sections.
To me it seems like a lot of work, made error prone by the sheer tedium
involved.
Perhaps someone else already has some experience to share?
Regards,
Ed
