----------------------------------------
Summary: Unify and decide about license header in freemarker
templates
Key: NETBEANS-85
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-85
Project: NetBeans
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Matthias Bläsing
There are files in the netbeans codebase that are used as template in netbeans.
These templates are combined with property sets and used to generate code in
users projects.
With the first iteration of [PR
#52|https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/pull/52] on github the apache
license headers were added. This was remarked as a bad idea. The reasoning:
- The user can see the content of the template when opening the file in the
template editor. And the user might be offended by seeing the license.
As counter points it was raised:
- a license header can be trivially added and won't end up in the generated
file (freemarker supports comments)
- it makes license review easier
This should be decided centrally.
