How to make template with license

Dear all,

 

I have problem to create the license text in java templates in NetBeans ver 6.5.

 

In the template editor I get the following source text:

 

<#assign licenseFirst = "/*">

<#assign licensePrefix = " * ">

<#assign licenseLast = " */">

<#include "../Licenses/license-${project.license}.txt">

 

<#if package?? && package != "">

package ${package};

 

</#if>

/**

 *

 * @author ${user}

 */

public class ${name} {

 

}

 

How should I modify the command:

 

<#include "../Licenses/license-${project.license}.txt">

 

And where should I create the text file? If I put there an absolute pathname or a relative path it dosn’t work properly.

 

Thanx for help

Dear Brett,

 

thank you for resepone. However, I tried exactly what you recommended and I received response of NetBeans:

 

Error reading included file Templates/Classes/../Licenses/license-TYPE.txt

 

Have you an idea awhat is my mistake?

 

Yours

 

Vaclav

Hi Vaclav, there's a few steps you need to undertake

Setup the License Text
1. Create a new text file with form "license-TYPE.txt" where TYPE is the license type you wish to refer to.
2. Go to Tools > Templates
3. Click add and browse to your license file.

Alter your project license
1. Go to the "Files" tab.
2. Navigate to "nbproject" and open "project.properties".
3. Add a new line containing the following text (replacing TYPE with your license type):
project.license=TYPE

Now, your license will be used with templates that refer to it.

Hope this helps,
-Brett
