Hi, Looks like we have a bunch of files that are missing the Apache license headers. IMO it's a good idea to add the Maven RAT plugin to ensure that every new file has license header. Otherwise the responsibility falls on the release manager's head to correct it and makes the release process longer and tedious. I have logged a ticket EAGLE-114 [1] to track it and got a working patch that I can submit a PR. One of the problem fileset is the webapp under eagle-webservice. There are a large number of files which don't have license header. I would like to create a separate ticket to track which files should have the header and which should be excluded.
Let me know if that sounds reasonable. thanks Prasad [1] - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EAGLE-114
