However I noticed the following possible further issues:
(1) When dealing with many of the properties files, it seemed to
strip comments starting with # all together.  Assume this may require
changes to the logic where it's replacing the header to avoid this.

It would help if you could provide a stand-alone sample, that
reproduces the problem. I won't comment one theoretic questions without
reference.

(2) If there is no header presently, it does not modify this. Assume
this would be a case where when an existing header is not present then
add
it as well where applicable

Running "ant rat" on a clean tree (no build artifacts) will check the
files for licenses. It highly depends on the number of files that are
affected whether or not automation will help. You will never get 100%
succcess for this, the tools are there to help, not make all work go
away.

(3) When iterating through, it seems to iterate through some binary
files (i.e. class and jar files).  Not sure if it tries to modify
these but seems like that might be unnecessary.  Maybe need some
additional
"exclude" logics with some defaults included in some way (maybe a
properties
file with exclusions or a parameter with exclusions included)

There should be no binaries in the tree when the tool runs - even so,
it should be trivial to exclude these, either from the
scan/modification or the final commit.

If I was to make some of these changes, are changes for this tracked
in the Netbeans JIRA (i.e. does a ticket need raising here or elsewhere
[git
Issue?]).  Or would making the changes with a PR suffice?

The netbeans-tools are a mixed bunch of code. For the convert tool
fixing it with a PR and maybe getting a second opinion should be
enough.
