No license header added for java files that do not contain project line
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: RAT-34
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-34
Project: RAT
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 0.6
Reporter: Gavin
Fix For: 0.6
When using the -a cmd line switch to automatically add license headers to java
files, no license headers will be added unless the java file contains the
'package' line. This is currently by design. Ideas for change include :-
1. Do nothing (almost) - Document that a package line must exist and that the
license will be appended after that line. Therefore you are actively forcing
this limitation as an intentional design feature.
If this route is chosen then you should bail out without writing a .new file if
there is no package line, perhaps with a WARNING message appended to the
output. A .new file is currently written anyway because the file has already
been opened and written ("\n") to before that 'package' check above.
2. If no package line exists then put the license in anyway at the very top.
