Re: [Hawkular-dev] Checking and fixing license headers

Hi *, This [1] is is the second version of the PR. It solves the problem raised by tsegismont (whose validity was confimed by RH Legal) that in the license headers it is necessary to > modify the year only in the event of changes and, in that event carry > forward the initial year. For example, if there's a change in 2016, > or 2015 and 2016, I'd modify the entry to say Copyright 2014-2016. The present solution uses a place holder ${license.copyrightYears} in the template [2] that is evaluated by the license plugin separately for every source file, based on its git history. My 150116-license [3] branch in metrics shows how to use it. There are two use cases: (1) Fix or add the license headers in all project's files through issuing mvn license:format Note that the commit [4] is a result of running mvn license:format in the root directory of metrics (2) Check the presence of the headers and their correctness through mvn license:check Note that license:check is bound to the validation phase [5] Is [1] OK to be merged to hawkular-build-tools?
