[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-9109?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin... ] Nick Boldt edited comment on JBIDE-9109 at 6/9/11 6:15 PM: ----------------------------------------------------------- Every plugin has to declare its own license / copyright details. Every .java file CAN do the same (but need not if the plugin that contains it states this information). Ideally, every feature should ALSO include this information so it's presented to users upon installation. But since it's possible to install a plugin w/o its containing feature (eg., by including it in a different feature), you really NEED to have every plugin declaring its usage rights/rules. Bottom line: great idea, but can't be done. was (Author: nickboldt): Every feature has to declare its own license / copyright details.

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-9109?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin... ] Brian Leathem commented on JBIDE-9109: -------------------------------------- The intention is to allow developers to more easily change the license headers in the files of a project. For example, we recently had to change the license headers in the Seam Project from GPL to ASL. This request has nothing to do with developing JBT itself. I don't know which plugin Lincoln had in mind, but here are two that came up in a quick search: 1) JAutodoc: http://jautodoc.sourceforge.net/ 2) Copyright wizard: http://www.wdev91.com/?p=cpw_ug -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
