Choose Header License For Free

How do I get my MIT license? To use the MIT license, developers need to copy the text as provided and include in source files as applicable. If using any other MIT licensed software in the project, retain the original license information at the top of the file, while keeping the copyright statements (if unchanged).

Let's see how to do that in Copyright Preferences: We first navigate to Preferences -> General -> Copyright. Then, to add a new copyright header, we click on the Add button. To modify an existing license, we select a license from the Licenses and then click on the Modify button.

Go to preferences -> Java -> Code Style -> Code Templates, expands Code and select ?New Java Files?, edit the template to add whatever copyright messages you want. Now, that copyright message will be injected on every newly created Java class.

You don't need header files because the Java compiler compiles class definitions into a binary form that retains all the type information through to link time. By removing all this baggage, Java becomes remarkably context-free.

Changing License Headers for Project Select a license template, and then click Open in Editor. NetBeans will open a new editor just like the code editor. Once you have done editing, press Ctrl + S to save the changes. From now on, NetBeans will append the selected license to every new Java file you create.

Press Ctrl+. to trigger the Quick Actions and Refactorings menu. Select Add file header. To apply the file header to an entire project or solution, select Project or Solution under the Fix all occurrences in: option. The Fix all occurrences dialog will open where you can preview the changes.

Simply go to: Window - Preferences - Java - Code Style - Code Templates - Comments - Types - Edit... and change ${user} to whatever you want. Also go to: Window - Preferences - Java - Editor - Templates - @author - Edit... and change ${user} to whatever you want.

No, you don't have to put the license in each source code file.
