To build on cata's answer (upvoted) the maven-replacer-plugin is the way to go. I've come up with the following that strips out the entire comment (not just the timestamp) which you can replace with your file comment (license etc.).

    com.google.code.maven-replacer-plugin
    maven-replacer-plugin
    
      
        prepare-package
          
            replace
                             
        
      
      
        
        
          src/main/java/**/*.java
        
        true
        
          MULTILINE
        
        
          
            (^//.*\u000a|^\u000a)*^package
            // your new comment
package
                   
        
      
   

The one gotcha to watch out for is that the element treats the text literally. So if you want a line break in your replacement text you need to put a line break in your pom.xml file (as I've demonstrated above).
