BUG Community

Several times in the past I've looked for some kind of Eclipse plugin that would let me add and change Copyright and License headers of my source files.  The problem was that the typical search terms are so general ("eclipse copyright plugin", etc) that I was never unable to find much.   But not today!  Today my search terms bore fruit.  Happily the Eclipse Release Engineering team, generous souls that they are, wrote this very plugin!  So today in order to fix a licensing flub that I created, instead of tediously going through each source file, I was able to update our source headers in a few clicks!  Highly recommended if you have a new project you're ready to show to the world but have neglected to put the usual stuff at the top of your files. 

NOTE: I am still using Eclipse 3.3(.2) and was unable to use the plugin from CVS HEAD without some changes, which are here:
