Chris, thanks for the feedback. We will incorporate this into the verification steps.
When looking at the RC1 issue I noticed that the rat plugin does not an option to fail a build when encountering archives. It just reports them in target/rat.txt That's rather odd given the strong recommendation not to add archives to the source repository. Would be a good thing to have for CI.
