Changing the default header comment license in Xcode

Question

Whenever I create a new .cpp/.h file in Xcode a comment is added to the top of the file. For example:

/*
 *  <file>.cpp
 *  <Name of project>
 *
 *  Created by <My name> on <Date>.
 *  Copyright <Year and company>. All rights reserved.
 *
 */

I want to change the default comment to be another license, like GPL/LGPL/ or something else. Is there somewhere I can change this behavior in Xcode?

Answer 1

I think its in one of these places:

• Xcode preferences
• A resource file/template inside the Xcode application
• A template file somewhere else on your disk
• Hard coded into Xcode (which I think it isn't but...)

Answer 2

Try modifying this file:

/Developer/Library/Xcode/File\ Templates/C\ and\ C++/Header\ File.pbfiletemplate/header.h

Answer 3

"/Developer/Library/XCode/File Templates"

any update of your SDK will wipe changes here so keep your template backed up somewhere else
