Philipp Ottlinger commented on RAT-171:
---------------------------------------
[~nacx] Is the current implementation approach helpful for you?
Please try with a 0.12-SNAPSHOT of at least
[r1672780|http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=r1672780]
Thanks for any feedback - should the feature be enabled by default?
> Allow exclude patterns to be read from a file or files

> Key: RAT-171
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-171
> Project: Apache Rat
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 0.11
> Reporter: Ignasi Barrera
> Assignee: Philipp Ottlinger
> Attachments: RAT-171.patch
>
>
> The apache-rat-plugin ignores by default the .gitignore files. However, for
> every file/pattern added to those files, an explicit exclusion must be set in
> the plugin's configuration.
> Given that git-ignored files won't be uploaded to the SCM and shouldn't be
> part of a release, it would be nice that the apache-rat-plugin automatically
> considered those git-ignored files as implicit exclusions.
> h3. Example usage
> Either configure parsing SCM ignore files by a environment variable
> {code}
> mvn -U -debug -Drat.parseSCMIgnoresAsExcludes=true
> {code}
> or in your configuration section of apache-rat-maven plugin
> {code}
> <parseSCMIgnoresAsExcludes>true</true>
> As if now this feature is not enabled by default.
