I think it will be a better solution and good design pattern approach to use
OOPS concept ie. Inheritance, specially if we make a subclass MYCLASS.java
of class ABC.java rather then copying every thing from to ABC.java
to MYCLASS.java. And this way we can handle copyright issue like this ...

/**
 * @author Dang Duy Hieu
 * @version $Id: ABC.java 2009-09-18 17:20:00Z someone$
 */
public abstract class MYCLASS extends ABC
    implements Action
{..........................}


This is one way to solve the issue but if ABC.java is final then .....no
body can extend class ABC.java
