Hello devs,
Hi Erik
since I didn’t find a user mailing list, I’m trying this one – apologies if this is the wrong place.
We don't have a user list, so this is definitely the right place :-)
I have problems excluding files from the license header check. As an example I set up a new maven project. The only files included are the pom and file_which_should_be_excluded.txt file with dummy content. The pom looks like this: <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd";> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>org.example</groupId> <artifactId>rat-test</artifactId> <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version> <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.rat</groupId> <artifactId>apache-rat-plugin</artifactId> <version>0.10-SNAPSHOT</version> <configuration> <excludes> <exclude>file_which_should_be_excluded.txt</exclude> <exclude>*.txt</exclude> <exclude>pom.xml</exclude> </excludes> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build> </project> To my understanding, there are no files left to check, but mvn rat:check fails with: [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:rat-maven-plugin:1.0-alpha-3:check (default-cli) on project rat-test: Too many unapproved licenses: 0 -> [Help 1] The whole rat.txt is at http://pastebin.com/Gy44dGgC, I think the relevant part is: ***************************************************** Summary ------- Notes: 0 Binaries: 0 Archives: 0 Standards: 2 Apache Licensed: 0 Generated Documents: 0 JavaDocs are generated and so license header is optional Generated files do not required license headers 2 Unknown Licenses ******************************* Why is it 2 Unknown Licenses? Shouldn't that be 0 because I specifically excluded the 2 files? Or did I understand something wrong about the exclusion?
I'm not sure, but if you are willing to contribute your test code to Apache and open a JIRA, I'll add an integration test based on this code and investigate the issue.
