Eclipse Releng Tools	3.4.0.v20100923-45-7w3121173A

Adding a new copyright section where it's missing is great but filling it just with the today's date is not enough. If the first revision of a file has been created in 2005 and I'm running the tool in 2011, the section should say "2005, 2011" instead of just "2011".

Maybe it's a matter of configuration, if so, the default should be changed.

All code is in git now.

Yep, but the code which creates the copyright is also used when running the tool on Git code.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
