I think it is fair to say there are no plans for anything. This project is "existing" rather than "developing". However, it *is* possible to set up a CI build to check for licence headers. I use Hudson on my project and it works fine. Set Maven up to fail and hudson will report a fail. You don't get a nice report of why it failed (have to go into the logs folder to find our, or run it locally). I'm afraid I can't remember exactly how I configured this, but the pom.xml is at http://code.google.com/p/simal/source/browse/trunk/uk.ac.osswatch.simal.core/pom.xml If you use hudson and can't figure it out, let me know I'll give you a login to our server so you can poke around on the understanding that you'll give us bullet point notes on how to do it.
