Sebb created RAT-134:
------------------------
Summary: RAT CLI uses different wildcard syntax for -e and -E;
neither matches Ant/Maven wildcards
Key: RAT-134
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-134
Project: Apache Rat
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 0.8, 0.9
Reporter: Sebb
RAT CLI uses two different wildcard syntaxes, neither of which agree with the
Ant/Maven syntax.
For the -E option (expressions read from a file), it uses RegexFileFilter which
uses java.util.regex.Pattern syntax.
For the -e option (expression provided on command-line), it uses
WildcardFileFilter, whose Javadoc says:
"The wildcard matcher uses the characters '?' and '*' to represent a single or
multiple wildcard characters. This is the same as often found on Dos/Unix
command lines."
Ant and Maven syntax is similar to the -e syntax, except that they use '**' to
mean zero or more directories.
RAT CLI should be consistent, and should use Ant/Maven style syntax.
