Install the org.eclipse.releng.tools plugin to Eclipse
You can use the standard software installer ("Help > Install New Software...") to add the Eclipse Project's Releng Tools to your Eclipse configuration.
Configuration of Eclipse copyright tool
- the listbox 'copyright template' takes a fix header for your java files
- you can declare a creation and revision year
- you can declare that existing header will be replaced
- you can declare that properties files like build.properties will be skiped
Use Eclipse copyright tool
- change to Resource-view of Eclipse
- deselect all working sets, if you have selected - you must see the project structure of your workspace
- click right on your project and choose Advanced fix copyrights
The tool will:
- insert a header
- in java files
- if configured, in *.properties files
- if configured, with override existing header
The tool will NOT
- insert a header in other files like plugin.xml
