------------------------------------------------------------------
Due to the JDK8-restriction we are bound to a very old version of Tika that
seems to have introduced regressions in document scanning. Using Tika was an
intended big change as the manual document recognition was prone to other
errors. Thanks for the report.

> Key: RAT-512
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-512
> Project: Apache Rat
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.17
> Reporter: Niels Basjes
> Priority: Major
>
> Simply upgrading from 0.16.1 to 0.17 now fails the build if PDF files are
> present (desired and committed in my case) in the directory tree.
> *Reproduction:*
> * Empty directory with an empty pom.xml (i.e. only the basics and no mention
> of apache rat at all)
> {code:java}
> <?xml version="1.0"?>

> * Add a pdf file to the directory

> $ file Something.pdf
> Something.pdf: PDF document, version 1.5 (zip deflate encoded)
> {code}
> *mvn org.apache.rat:apache-rat-plugin:0.16.1:check*
> This output is expected because pom.xml does not have a license and the PDF
> is a binary file that cannot have a license.

> change in behavior so I think this is an unintended bug.
