Philipp Ottlinger updated RAT-171: ---------------------------------- Description: h3. Context 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. Implemented for Currently implemented for the following soure code management systems: * SVN * Git * Bazaar * Mercurial and * CVS. The solution just takes each line of the ignore file as an exclusion that is not a comment line. Thus no special logics for exclusions are parsed or different functionalities of a SCM taken into account. Each line is taken as it is and added to RAT's default exclusions. h3. Example usage You can 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> {code} This features is enabled by default. In case you want to speed up the build you may disable it and set it to {code} false {code} . was: h3. Context The apache-rat-plugin ignores by default the .gitignore files.
