Hi Bill,
I looked into the maven-license-plugin
(
http://code.google.com/p/maven-license-plugin).
We can use this in our GF workspace and update/replace all the files
(*.java, *.properties, *.xml, etc) with the same license header file.
This can be an one time step to update and commit the files and then
added to the build (pom.xml) such that it will check for any files w/o a
header or the wrong year and fail the build.
Some files have the following years: "Copyright 1997-2010" and
"Copyright 1998-2010. Using the maven-license-plugin, it will update
all the files to use the same year: "Copyright 2010". Are you okay
with this?
Also, the copyright file has "Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights
reserved." We should change that to say Oracle?
Is there an updated Copyright file I can use as a template ?
Currently this is what I have:
-----

${year} will be replaced with 2010 as I run the maven plugin:
"mvn license:format -Dyear=2010"
Thanks,
Jane
