How can I make IntelliJ insert a copyright header by default in each new project?


Why does Intellij Idea make it so difficult to have a simple message that is added at the top of each file. ie. /** * Created on date * Copyright by developer */ Maybe I'm reading it wrong but creating a profile, adding a scope and having to manually insert in each individual project seems like a lot of work and leaves a hole if one is distracted and forgets. At the end of the project do you need to back and manually insert in every file?


Solution

  • Copyright settings for new projects should be saved if you define them in File | New Projects Settings | Preferences for new project. But unfortunately they aren't, please follow the bug already created for it at YouTrack: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-207505
