I tested on `master` and, even if it should with `out` is `null`, and nothing is printed on `System.out` using CLI. If I remove the lines in this change, it works. So I'm pretty sure that this part is wrong and the `Writer` is not closed cleanly. For instance: ``` $ java -jar apache-rat-0.16-SNAPSHOT.jar /Users/jbonofre/mytest $ ``` So nothing is printed on `System.out` whereas it shoul. It's a bug for me, fixed with my change. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
