Hi guys,

The syntax for a Manisfest.mf file does not allow comments, so you can't include a header. We already tied to inject such a header a few months ago, but without success.

Hi Felix,

The license header is mandatory on all source file ("Source File Headers for
Code Developed at the ASF") as it is mentionned in this page [1].

I don't think the manifest file can be considered as a source file.
Generally it's more a generated file, but in some cases (studio's case
mainly) we need to store them in SVN.

So I think (and it's only my personal POV), the license header is not useful
in this kind of files.

What do others think ?

Pierre-Arnaud

Hi all

I'm not sure, but do manifest.mf files really do need to have a license
header? If not we should exculde the manifest
files in the TLP pom from RAT.
