Erik Erlandson commented on SPARK-1493:
---------------------------------------
RAT itself appears to preclude exclusion using a "/path/to/file.ext" regex
because it traverses the directory tree and applies its exclusion filter only
to individual file names. The filter never sees an entire path
"path/to/file.ext", only "path", "to", and "file.ext"
https://github.com/apache/rat/blob/incubator-site-import/rat/rat-core/src/main/java/org/apache/rat/DirectoryWalker.java#L127
Either RAT needs a new filtering feature that can see an entire path, or the
report it generates has to be filtered post-hoc.
> Apache RAT excludes don't work with file path (instead of file name)
