Niels Basjes commented on RAT-347:
----------------------------------
This was caused by the fact that the gitignore improvements I wrote (code:
[https://github.com/nielsbasjes/codeowners/)] could not handle 0 byte
.gitignore files.
I have already fixed this (and several other) problems, released a new version
and this new version has been included the apache-rat-plugin code base since
yesterday ( RAT-348 ).
To verify I have built the latest code of this plugin an updated one of my
projects where I have added as a test an empty (0 byte) .gitignore file.
{code:java}

where the current 0.16 version gives on the same codebase

Important to note is that although it gives some bad looking messages the
overall impact is that these specific .gitignore lines are simply only ignored.
So the overall impact is limited.
