There are a lot of files in SDK3.0 MACH that inherited from NB. These files have problems with copyright: wrong copyright or no copyright at all. According to the latest PROPRIETARY RIGHT NOTICES (PRN) guide ( http://prn.central/guide.jsp ) SHORT (not MINI) copyrights must be placed "At the top of the source code, in a header file". This guide doesn't define "source code" term but you can see what was allowed for SJWC and RIs projects: http://spiro-twiki.sfbay.sun.com/twiki/bin/view/ToolsME/ToolsMECdcCopyrightTable ------------------------------------------------------------- Source Files Any file which effects running code. This means all source code files: * Java source code * C/C++ source code * C/C++ header files * Etc. and any files which are used by running code: * Manifest files * Security policy files * Property files * Input into programs * Warmup lists * Makefiles * Etc. ------------------------------------------------------------- So for SJWC and RI products legals considered property files as source files that hence need to include copyright notices. List of files that should be fixed is in attachment.
Created attachment 91861 [details] list of files with copyright problems
Sorry, these file are not NetBeans files but Java ME SDK which is included as a binary package. Also, these files do not carry any Sun IP information, these are just settings (and they can change by themselves over time).
All source and property files should have new Oracle copyrights in the JavaME NetBeans plugin.
I am closing as invalid: we will not put copyright into following files */config/*.xml */update_tracking/*.xml These files are (re)generated by the IDE on the fly. If someone gives me more sensible list I am ready to put the headers in place.
