Subject	[platform-releng-dev] Copyrights and copyright tool

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:

###############################################################################
# Copyright (c) 2003, 2004 IBM Corporation and others.
# All rights reserved. This program and the accompanying materials 
# are made available under the terms of the Common Public License v1.0
# which accompanies this distribution, and is available at
# http://www.eclipse.org/legal/cpl-v10.html 
# 
# Contributors: 
#     IBM Corporation - initial API and implementation
###############################################################################

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

/*******************************************************************************

 * All rights reserved. This program and the accompanying materials

 *

 *******************************************************************************/

3.  For either .java or .properties files which have existing IBM
copyrights, it will increment the copyright year to the year timestamp
on the file. 
4.  It will NOT modify files which have existing copyrights which
are non-IBM.
