Historically, we have used <introduction year>-<modification year>
as the pattern for copyright headers.
For example: Copyright 2002-2025 the original author or authors.
However, we have been encouraged to use present
as the modification year.
In light of that, we should update the following to enforce the new pattern.
- [x] The patterns in our
SpringHeaderCheck
Checkstyle rules - [x] The
update_copyright_headers.sh
script - [x] The
Copyright 2002-${year}
template inorg.eclipse.jdt.ui.prefs
We should then run update_copyright_headers.sh
to modify all source files.
