Eclipse GLSP - CLI

The @eclipse-glsp/cli package provides helpful scripts and commands for extension and application development. The contributed glsp, is a command line tool that offers all contributed commands.

Getting Started

Install @eclipse-glsp/cli as a dev dependency in your application.

yarn add @eclipse-glsp/cli --dev

checkHeaders

The checkHeaders command can be used to validate the copyright year (range) of license headers. It checks for each file (matching the include pattern) whether the defined copyright range is in line with the first and last modification date in the git repository. Found violations are printed to the console and can be fixed automatically. The validation check can be restricted to pending changes and/or the last commit e.g. to validate a commit before creating a PR.

$ glsp checkHeaders -h
