Main Features

  • License Header Management - Add, replace or drop license headers in your source code files with a single command. What's more, contrary to many similar tools, Headroom allows you to also replace/drop headers that weren't previously generated by Headroom, using smart header auto-detection.
  • Powerful Customization - Default configuration should cover most use-cases, but if you need to put empty lines before/after generated header, use different comment style of headers, you can customize the configuration to match exactly your needs.
  • Built-in OSS License Headers - If you want to use license header for one of the popular OSS licenses, then Headroom can generate them for you - no need to search for them on web.
  • Automatic Initialization for OSS Projects - Setting up external tools like Headroom for your project can be boring. Fortunately, Headroom can initialize itself for your project, by generating configuration file and template files.
  • Extended Functionality - Headroom supports extended functionality for selected types of source code files, such as extracting extra data from processed source code files.
  • Copyright Year Updater - Headroom is good not only for basic license header management, but also for further processing of generated headers. Do you need to update years in your copyrights? No problem!
