Stefan Bodewig updated RAT-34:
------------------------------
Affects Version/s: 0.7
Fix Version/s: 0.8
> 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, 0.7
> Reporter: Gavin
> Fix For: 0.8
>
>
> 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.
