Jalopy will do this. It allows searching each Java file for a header using
some query string you define. If not there, it adds a header of your
choosing to the file. It will also do the same thing with a trailer, at the
end of the file.

Jalopy will also reformat the files, indenting and such. It will reorder the
fields and methods if you choose. There are a lot of fancy reformattings it
will do. There is a part that will check for problems in the code. I haven't
used this. (I use Checkstyle for this.)

I do it inside Eclipse since I have the Jalopy eclipse-plugin installed. You
just pick  the parent folder and choose to reformat with Jalopy. It will do
all the java files below that in the varioius subdirectories.

I'm aware of a way to do it from ant so you could do it inside the antrun
maven plugin.

There may be other ways.
