@mmiklavc I'd need to merge in master, but there's a question I raised on
the lists about just pairing a license fix ticket + a refactor ticket on a
module by module basis. I think that'd be easier than going through with this,
and then managing things anyway.
Either way, if we stick with this, @mattf-horton requested that the easily
automated changes be split from manual changes to make this more easily
digestable.
> Adjust license headers to be comments instead of Javadoc
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: METRON-1087
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-1087
> Project: Metron
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 0.4.0
> Reporter: Justin Leet
> Assignee: Justin Leet
> Priority: Minor
>
> Right now, the majority of our license headers are in Javadoc format.
> Notably, Javadoc is subject to reformatting from IDE autoformatters. In some
> cases, this has resulted in the whitespace being replaced by paragraph tags,
> or the removal or some spaces. Additionally, reformats to fit the column
> width setup. Comments maintain formatting, and should be preferred for this
> reason.
> Not adjusting this will causes significant issues for
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-747, as blanket reformat can
> cause issues will all the license headers.
