Copyright Notice

Home -> Developer Guide ->

The Open Mainframe Project (OMP) requires each source file to contain a comment block with the copyright notice. The Cobol Check project has adopted the following guidelines:

• Each Java source file under src/main/java must begin with the standard comment block containing the copyright notice. This is a plain comment block, not a javadoc comment.
• Test files under src/test/java need not include the copyright notice.
• Test data files, which in our case means Cobol source files under src/main/cobol and src/test/cobol, need not include the copyright notice. This sometimes confuses OMP reviewers, as the Cobol files look like the source for something, but for our purposes they are only test data and not part of the Cobol Check code base as such.
• Plain text files such as config.properties need not include the copyright notice.
• Helper scripts for development need not include the copyright notice.
