Every file needs to include the Apache license as a header. This can be automated in IntelliJ by adding a Copyright profile:

  1. Go to “Settings/Preferences” → “Editor” → “Copyright” → “Copyright Profiles”.
  2. Add a new profile and name it “Apache”.
  3. Add the following text as the copyright text:

    1. Licensed to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) under one
    2. or more contributor license agreements. See the NOTICE file
    3. distributed with this work for additional information
    4. regarding copyright ownership. The ASF licenses this file
    5. to you under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the
    6. "License"); you may not use this file except in compliance
    7. with the License. You may obtain a copy of the License at
