This PR is a precursor for #3589.
To develop the tooling for converting the source code in the code base to include
SPDX-License-Identifier.The tooling will have to deal with more than just java files (that is, POMs, scripts) and will also need to deal with some amount of variation such as generated files and source included from other places.
As a starting point, I used it to check the existing state of the java files. While RAT checks there is a license, it does not prescript the exact format (e.g line wrap, use of spaces).
This PR is the outcome of regularizing the usual license header.
The PR also includes:
XMLCharto a more logical name --XML10Char(XMLCharis one of the files included from elsewhere, in this case from Xerces).By submitting this pull request, I acknowledge that I am making a contribution to the Apache Software Foundation under the terms and conditions of the Contributor's Agreement.
