-----------------------------------
Summary: Move Apache RAT license check out of release profile
Key: BEAM-860
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-860
Project: Beam
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Mitch Shanklin
Assignee: Mitch Shanklin
Priority: Minor
Currently Apache RAT only checks licenses as a part of the release profile.
Since the contributor's guide advises users to run 'mvn clean verify' without
the release profile locally, this means that missing licenses on files are
caught by Jenkins when they could be caught locally, saving a cycle.
Since RAT runs quickly, there doesn't seem to be a great reason to keep that in
the release profile. Seems similar to checkstyle in many respects, which is not
part of the release profile.
See https://github.com/apache/incubator-beam/pull/1199#issuecomment-256802048
for discussion of this issue.
