---------------------------------
Summary: Replace hardcoded "NOTICE" category
Key: RAT-388
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-388
Project: Apache Rat
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: configuration, core engine
Affects Versions: 0.16.1
Reporter: Claude Warren
Currently the system has a hard coded list of "NOTICE" files. We don't do
anything with them other than not scan them and report that they exist.
I would like to see this changed so that we define capture rules (like licenses
and probably using the same matcher patterns) and then require verify that
configuration defined files contain the specific capture.
For example a capture to collect all copyrights across all scanned files.
Could then be used to verify that the file named "NOTICE" contains all the
captured copyrights.
This will be a large extension to the current system. I think that a "capture"
document analyser will need to be written and added to the document processing
stream.
