[Dev] Standard Java header?

[Brett Wooldridge]

I'm not sure we can make it part of checkstyle or not?  Anyone?  I'm certainly for it.  In 1.0 of ZipTie we ran a perl script over all the files at the end of the release that slapped the header into them.  I'm fine with either approach.  I'm as guilty as anyone of setting up a new workspace but not importing the code templates (I always import the formatting rules tho).

That header definitely needs to be tweaked.  The copyright date needs to be updated for new files, but technically it is valid even with old dates (for old files) --  otherwise books and printed matter would be hosed.  But if the file has changes, the date should be "refreshed".  The License link should also point to http://www.ziptie.org/license not to the Mozilla site anymore.  And the "Contributor(s)" portion needs to die.

Is there a standard Java header for use in ZipTie?  A lot of files have the following, but a lot of them don't have anything, or have something else.  I note that the copyright date is flyblown, etc.  Can we make this part of the ZipTie Checkstyle?
