The task would add a license header if the code doesn't have one or replace it otherwise and would remove if needed.

If using command prompt-say user press -r and then enter key, then the license header is removed from all the files and if user presses -a then license is added to all the files and replaces the previous one. I tried license maven plugin but it was not removing the headers and on adding header it automatically adds one after the other everytime. Requirement is now to develop a java code for such thing now.

Is there any way you could help. Thanks

Time to develop your own Maven plugin I guess. – Tunaki Sep 14 '15 at 11:05
I really wouldn't want Maven interfering with the source code. Look for an IDE plugin to do it. For example: https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/copyright-wizard (not a recommendation ... just a lead.) – Stephen C Sep 14 '15 at 11:05
