I've updated the copyright header and the checkstyle files that are
used to check it. The only change is that we used to claim copyright
for "The ArgoEclipse Project," but since this isn't a legal entity, it
has no force. Instead we'll now follow the Eclipse project guidelines
(http://www.eclipse.org/legal/copyrightandlicensenotice.php) of using
actual contributors names. Please use your legal name. A shortened
version is fine, but don't use a pseudonym like "doomslayer."
The new template is below. If you create a new class in Eclipse it
should get filled in with reasonable values.
// $$Id: $$

If you are working on a file that has the old style attribution,
please update the copyright header if you think of it. Just replace
"The ArgoEclipse Project" with the name of the initial contributor.
On a related note, please feel free to add your name to the
contributors list if you make a significant change. If you want to
add your name using an @author annotation, that's cool too, but please
use a separate tag for each author, ie not @author Peter, John, but
@author Peter
@author John
Also, if you are working on a file which hasn't been modified this
year, please update the dates in the copyright notice. If there is
currently only a single year, just add ", 2008" and if there are
already two years listed, replace the last one with 2008. In other
words, it's initial year, followed by most recent year, not a long
list of years the file was modified.
