The copyright header is missing in this file

[smeagol-fish]

I am trying to fix the PMD violation (info) in one of my projects and I can't seem to be able to do so. I have added relevant copyright information in one of my action script files eg.

and then re-ran the FlexPMD over my code base. It still complained about the missing copyright headers. Can anyone point out what I am doing wrong?

cheers,
