It will fail on the first project where too many unapproved headers are found (in the case of everything that inherits from the Apache Maven project, this is >1 files) I believe that you will need to manually browse the workspace to find the rat.txt for the failing sub-project though. I don't think there is a Jenkins plugin for archiving & displaying Rat failures. > >-Ryan > >On Aug 28, 2012, at 7:13 AM, Stanton Sievers <[email protected]> wrote: > >> I have not tried this but it seems possible. >> >> RAT has a couple maven goals we can run but it is unclear to me if they >> will fail the build automatically or if we need extra Jenkins tooling to >> read and act on the output.
