Re: [eclemma-dev] Update Copyright Year and Copyright Owner?
Hi Evgeny,

thanks for ther reference to the post!

When I was doing the doc review I tried to look at it from the user's point of view and avoid to talk about technical terms. I was looking for a short term. Also our claim on the Web site is now "Java Code Coverage for Eclipse". I don't think this is confusing for most users as they already consider Eclipse primarly as a tool.

Cheers,

Hi Marc,

Also I would like to rephrase the description in about.properties from

Free Java code coverage for Eclipse implemented by Marc R. Hoffmann et al.,
distributed under the terms of the Eclipse Public License 1.0
to
Java code coverage analysis for the Eclipse IDE based on the
JaCoCo code coverage library (http://www.jacoco.org/jacoco)

Some time ago we've started discussion about description of feature, but unfortunately without conclusion - https://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/eclemma-dev/msg00026.html
And here I guess you're talking about org.eclipse.eclemma.ui/about.properties
Maybe they should be identical?
Also we need to agree on exact wording - see the one proposed by Mickael in the message referenced above. And I think that your proposal might be misinterpreted - i.e. we are not providing coverage analysis for Eclipse IDE itself, but a plugin/tool that allows to do coverage analysis from Eclipse IDE for applications developed in it.

Hi Evgeny,

in the past we used to pump the copy right notice in all source file every year. The current source base shows 2016. Also the feature.xml shows 2016, which is presented to the user while installing EclEmma. I think at least the places where it is visible to the end user we should update to 2017.


I'm wondering if there is something that prevents us from updating year everywhere as we've used to do before?
 
As we donated the project to Eclipse I would also update the copyright owner to the generic "Eclipse contributors and others" as used by other Eclipse projects. 

Just to be sure - are we talking here about source files or about the one visible in "about" dialog via "org.eclipse.eclemma.ui/about.properties" ?
In case of a sources AFAIK ( as was mentioned in https://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/eclemma-dev/msg00026.html ): "Eclipse EclEmma" can't be a copyright holder, because projects at Eclipse are not a legal entities, copyright holder stays unchanged. See also a notes from Mickael in the message referenced above.
And in a later case I don't actually see the consistency in Eclipse projects :D and haven't found any guidelines.


Regards,
Evgeny
