Class RASCopyright

java.lang.Object
  |
  +--com.ibm.ras.RASCopyright

public class RASCopyright
extends java.lang.Object

RASCopyright contains copyright statements which are included in each class file of this package. The long form must be included in the main class of each major component, and the short form must be included in all other classes.

The reason for having a separate class for these statements is to make it possible to update them once, and still affect all the class files in a product.

There are numerous ways to use this class to achieve the goal of having a readable copyright statement in a class file. The easiest way is to define a static string, as in this example:

 private static final String S = RASCopyright.COPYRIGHT_99;
 
This statement will appear in the class file, even if optimization is used.
