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
