Jean-Baptiste Onofré commented on BEAM-860:
-------------------------------------------
+1, especially it's really easy to enable it by profile.
> Move Apache RAT license check out of release profile

> 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.
