Comments
EVALUATION copyright year and Sun HQ address needs to be updated. ###@###.### 2005-03-23 20:08:03 GMT According to Legal we don't need to change all the copyright years of those files not modified in that year and also for the config and doc files bundled into the product. Files under .zip file or .jar files no need to update copyright year. Click thru license should have the correct copyright year and which we always have and that will superseed all others. *.properties files also falls into the same category. Updating few files for 1.4.2_08 and not applicable for 5.0 updates. ###@###.### 2005-03-28 23:18:18 GMT
