Retroactively apply Netbeans template

Question

I have a project with a decent number of files, and but I've only now come to licensing it. I have my license template all set up, but none of the files in my project were built after this template was created. Is there a way to retroactively apply this header template to automatically give all the files in my project license headers?

Thanks!

Not with just Netbeans no, but maven-license-plugin should do exactly what you want.

Alternatively, you could use sed . (This what I ended up doing.)
