Adding author name in Eclipse automatically to existing files [closed]

Answer 1

Quick and in some cases error-prone solution:

Find Regexp: (?sm)(.*?)([^\n]*\b(class|interface|enum)\b.*)

Replace: $1/**\n * \n * @author John Smith\n */\n$2

This will add the header to the first encountered class/interface/enum in the file. Class should have no existing header yet.
