Use the tab trigger license and select a license to insert.

A license block is inserted as a Snippet. Use the tab key to move the various placeholders.

List of used environment variables

You can specify the following environment variables in your project in order to autocomplete the license block.

TM_PROJECT_YEAR or the current year
TM_PROJECT_COPYRIGHT_HOLDERS or TM_AUTHOR or TM_ORGANIZATION_NAME
TM_ORGANIZATION_EMAIL
TM_PROJECT_DESCRIPTION

Also, you can fix your license project by adding the TM_PROJECT_LICENSE project environment variable. Thus, you won't be required to select it again.

Malformed license block?

It is possible that the license block rendering does not match your expectations. If this is the case, set your own format:

Bundles → Bundle Editor
In the License Helper entry, create a new Preference and set it up with the language's name
Fill the Scope Selector field with the appropriate scope – i.e. source.java for java source.
Set the shellVariables TM_LICENSE_HELPER_HEADER (comment start block) et TM_LICENSE_HELPER_FOOTER (comment end block) as following:

Note : you can also use the variable TM_LICENSE_HELPER_LINE to prefix each line of the license.

{	shellVariables = (
		{	name = 'TM_LICENSE_HELPER_HEADER';
			value = '/*';
		},
		{	name = 'TM_LICENSE_HELPER_FOOTER';
			value = '*/';
		},
	);
}
