Hi everyone,
Recently I started using license-maven-plugin. It is very useful, so thanks
to the authors!
I encountered a problem with license:update-file-header when the copyright
holder string spans multiple lines. E.g.:
https://github.com/imagej/imagej/blob/master/pom.xml#L31
I have included the line breaks for organizationName to keep the license
block under 80 characters per line.
This works fine for adding the initial license blocks, but causes an
exception to be thrown when processing files that already have a proper
header:

I debugged the issue, and it comes down to the copyright regex using dot
(.) to match any character. But dot does not match newlines by default. The
fix is easy: pass the Pattern.DOTALL flag when compiling the pattern.
I fixed the problem on a branch "fix-multi-line-copyright" on my Git mirror
of the code:
https://github.com/ctrueden/license-maven-plugin/tree/fix-multi-line-copyright
The relevant commit is:
https://github.com/ctrueden/license-maven-plugin/commit/01a76e7b15b750ec0c396e391a544dc803f86003
I would greatly appreciate if the maintainer(s) could include this patch
upstream!
Thanks,
Curtis
P.S. Running "mvn install" takes a long time and eventually fails:
https://gist.github.com/2220389
(For testing, I had to use "mvn install:install-file" to manually install
the new JAR into my local repo.) What is the best way to avoid this issue?
I tried with "-DskipTests" but the same failure still occurs.
