I'm attempting to use RAT to validate apache headers on my project. RAT has 
some great properties, but from a POM perspective my options seem extremely 
limited (as far as I can tell from your documentation).

1. Generated thrift code - I can't seem to get the RAT module working in this 
regard. They have a common header, so I was hoping to add the "Autogenerated by 
thrift" header to the licenses so they would be ignored, but I cannot set 
licenses in the pom. It would be great if I could provide a license in the pom 
which would be interpreted as such.

2. Ignore files by size - I saw in the website that with ant I could do a 
filter based on file size, but I couldn't find anything in the pom. Does this 
feature exist?

3. useEclipseDefaultExcludes while including subProjects - it looks like this 
successfully ignores the .project, etc. files in teh root of the project, but 
it does not ignore these files in the subprojects. I don't know if this is a 
bug or if I am missing something.

Sorry to just start hurling questions your way, I'm trying to figure out what I 
can do to fully utilize RAT for my project.

Thanks
John
