Matthias Friedrich created RAT-118:
--------------------------------------
Summary: Improve error reporting
Key: RAT-118
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-118
Project: Apache Rat
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: maven
Affects Versions: 0.8
Reporter: Matthias Friedrich
Priority: Minor
We use apache-rat-plugin in Maven to fail our builds in test phase if
unapproved licenses are found. This confused contributors quite a bit because
they had no indication of what exactly went wrong. It would be really helpful
if Rat would point users explicitly to rat.txt if the build fails. Maybe even
print the filename of the first offending file with a clear error message.
