Hi Jörn,
You might want to try eclipse. My eclipse setup is fairly plain vanilla, but minimizes the license so it does not eat my screen up. It also minimizes the java imports which can also eat the screen up. Then there is the debug bonus ;).

yeah, i know i should learn it rsn. but atm, i still work on the command line. and the command line tells me some interesting trivia about lenya:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/srv/lenya-vanilla/src> find -wholename "*svn*" -prune -o -not -type d -print -exec cat {} \; | wc -l
285700

285700 lines of code in lenya/src, excluding all svn housekeeping stuff.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/srv/lenya-vanilla/src> echo $((`grep -r "http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0"; * | wc -l` * 13))
36855

of which 36855 are the apache license (which happens to be 13 lines long, hence the outer evaluation).

if my rusty math doth not betray me, that's, ahem, like, ten something percent, right?

:-D

hi everyone!


i'm preparing a module for eventual submission into the lenya trunk, and
it's really shocking how much screen real estate, disk space and
scrolling time is eaten up by the gazillions of apache license notes...
Disk space is cheep :)

obviously :)

would it be in compliance with apache policy to just add a two liner like
/* this code is distributed under the terms of the
   apache source license v.2, see file:///... */
to every file, and maybe include the file once per module, or better
yet, only in the trunk root dir?
I don't think this would be in compliance.
http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html#apply

that's strange, because that boilerplate stuff is little more than a reference itself. it's just informational. all that's legally binding is in the mentioned URL. but i omitted one important thing: the copyright holder and year. if that's in, the whole shebang should be trimmable to 2-3 lines... but if noone else case, i'm shutting up about it.
