[ACCEPTED]-Adding a standard comment header to all source files in eclipse-eclipse
If you are looking for a tool with a good 4 Eclipse integration (and a nice GUI), I 3 suggest: Eclipse Copyright Generator
This adds:
- a new Panel in the preferences (global or project based) with: Menu > Windows > Preferences > General > Copyright.
- a Menu Menu > Project > Apply Copyright...
- a realy nice Wizard with a lot of options and some default template for Open-Source licence (Apache, EPL, ...)
I just tried it with 2 eclipse 3.6 and it work fine.
There is an 1 update site to install it:
https://dl.bintray.com/jmini/Eclipse-Copyright-Generator/
Window > Preferences > Java > Code Style 1 > Code Templates > Comments > Files
In addition to the answer provided by Bozho, there 6 are the releng tools provided by eclipse, which 5 give you some menu item commands to fix 4 copyrights in existing files. You can install 3 the releng tools from this update site:
The 2 Eclipse Project Updates - http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.3
And there is a 1 small bit information available on it here:
https://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/How_to_Use_Eclipse_Copyright_Tool
In addition to Andrew Eisenberg's reply, here's 4 what I found out about the Eclipse copyright tool. I found this 3 to work best from all suggested solutions.
Pluses:
- Easy to update copyright years or licence header.
- Easy to apply to the whole project or just parts of it.
Minuses:
- Does not work on all types of files. At least didn't work on JSP files for me.
- You can not set up multiple licenses and apply them as you wish. There's only one licence.
Customization 2 (from preferences):
You can apply the license 1 at the file or package level
The project that @Jmini link (Eclipse Copyright 8 Generator) seems dead, you can use this 7 plugin to add the headers: JAutoDoc, it's very easy 6 to use and have a lot of utilities for javadoc.
You 5 need to specify a licence in project|general > Preferences > java > JAutodoc > FileHeader and later 4 in the project use: project > JAutodoc > Add Header, make sure the option 3 Replace Existing Header is on.
The template is writing using Velocity, so 2 you can add all the information you need 1 as variables.
this is my setting under Window > Preferencers > Java > Code Style > Code Template > Code > New Java files:
/*
* Copyright (c) 20XX XXXXXXXXX. All rights reserved. Whatever......
*/
${filecomment}
${package_declaration}
${typecomment}
/**
*
* @author ${user}
*
*/
${type_declaration}
