All component teams are requested to
update their copyrights today in projects contributed to the build.  This
can be done either by hand or using the attached org.eclipse.releng.tools
plug-in which contains the copyright tool.  The same version of this
tool will be available in the upcoming noon build.

To install, unzip the plug-in into your
eclipse install and re-start eclipse.

To run, select the "Fix Copyrights..."
from the context menu of your projects in the Package Explorer or Navigator
view.

What does the tool do?

1.  For  .properties files
without copyrights, it will insert the following at the top of the file:
