Description Kim Horne CLA 2007-04-03 14:04:28 EDT 
In an effort to cut down on one huge copyright update at the end of the release I've been trying to run the copyright tool earlier.  Unfortunately, you cant run the current tool more than once without a lot of work.  When a file is updated and checked in the next time the copyright tool runs it will detect this change and update the copyright yet again.  It should be possible to prevent this.  I have a patch that will allow this.

Patch against org.eclipse.releng.tools

Patch that adds a dialog when the fix action is run.  This dialog will prompt the user for a string to match against the last checkin comment.  If this string is found (default "copyright") then the file is skipped.

Kim thanks for the contribution,

I notice that the patch includes override annotations and this plugin is supposed to run in java 1.4 ee.

Could you submit a new patch that doesn't include these annotations :-)

This is happening with the copyright tool in HEAD and 3.3.2 again
Comment 6 Tod Creasey CLA 2008-01-31 08:23:56 EST 
The problem is that there is an Advanced Fixed Copyrights that the wiki tells you to use an a Fix Copyrights which is the right one to use.

You need to update the wiki and maybe rename it to Eclipse Fix Copyrights
Comment 7 Kim Moir CLA 2009-05-22 15:19:31 EDT 
It was renamed to Eclipse Fix copyrights in bug 173364
