A few months ago, I developed a version of rat for sbt to be used for the Log4j Scala API subcomponent. At the time, I developed this externally and have been publishing the releases to Maven Central, though sbt plugins should also be uploaded to the normal sbt plugin repository.
Project: https://github.com/jvz/sbt-rat Used originally in: https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j-scala I brought this up on the Incubator list a while back, and one of the podlings also started using the plugin (along with some improvements). After seeing that this project seems to be somewhat inactive, I wanted to help rejuvenate this as these plugins are used extensively throughout the ASF, particularly during incubation. Being an sbt plugin, I don't think this can be easily built with Maven, so this probably can't exist as a normal module in the regular rat project, though if there are ideas on how to integrate it directly, I'd like to do that. Otherwise, we could make a separate repo for it. -- Matt Sicker <boa...@gmail.com>
