Philipp Ottlinger updated RAT-171: ---------------------------------- Description: The apache-rat-plugin ignores by default the .gitignore files. However, for every file/pattern added to those files, an explicit exclusion must be set in the plugin's configuration. Given that git-ignored files won't be uploaded to the SCM and shouldn't be part of a release, it would be nice that the apache-rat-plugin automatically considered those git-ignored files as implicit exclusions. h3. Example usage Either configure parsing SCM ignore files by a environment variable {code} mvn -U -debug -Drat.parseSCMIgnoresAsExcludes=true {code} or in your configuration section of apache-rat-maven plugin {code} <parseSCMIgnoresAsExcludes>true</true> As if now this feature is not enabled by default. was: The apache-rat-plugin ignores by default the .gitignore files.
