How can one change the header comment auto generated by eclipse?

The Eclipse CDT generates comments in header files that look a lot like this:

/*
 * Foo.hpp
 *
 *  Created on: Mar 27, 2017
 *      Author: jeremiah
 */

How does one change that header? I simply want it to include the normal "This-file-is-protected-by-this-licence" type stuff.

Solution

  • The file header comment can be set here:

    Window -> Preferences -> C/C++ -> Code Style -> Code Templates -> Comments -> Files
