jgralab/common — Issue #1: The ist_utilities LicenseHeader tool should not add trailing whitespaces

Currently, when running the `addLicenseHeaders` ant task, empty lines in the header text produce a trailing whitespace in java files. For example, if the header is

```
The JGraLab Team (C) 2012

Bla bla
```

then you get this comment in java:

```
/*
* The JGraLab Team (C) 2012
*
* Bla bla
*/
```

Notices that on the line that was empty in the header file, in the java comment you have `* `, that is, **a star followed by a space**.

That's bad, because we get large commits where most changes are removals of those spaces because auto-formatting in eclipse erases them (which is a good thing, IMO).
