Philipp Ottlinger commented on RAT-352:
---------------------------------------
[~nchammas] sorry - I just read your comment on RAT-323.
> Enable use of wildcard expressions in exclude file
> --------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: RAT-352
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-352
> Project: Apache Rat
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: cli
> Reporter: Nicholas Chammas
> Priority: Minor
>
> Due to the widespread use of git, I would find it much more intuitive if
> .rat-excludes worked like .gitignore. I think most people on the Spark
> project would agree (though, fair disclosure, I haven't polled them).
> Would it make sense to add a CLI option instructing RAT to interpret entries
> in the exclude file as wildcard expressions (as opposed to regular
> expressions) that work more or less like .gitignore?
> This feature request is somewhat related to RAT-265.
