Philipp Ottlinger commented on RAT-243:
---------------------------------------
Thanks for providing the patch and spotting the issue -
do you know how to configure eclusions?
This would be a way to fix the issue depending on your project setup.
I assume a static exclusion setup is easier to handle and implement in
comparison to a more generic registering.

> Project: Apache Rat
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: maven
> Affects Versions: 0.11, 0.12
> Environment: Eclipse Oxygen, Checkstyle Plugin 8.0.0.201707161819
> Reporter: Matthew Ouyang

> If you try to configure the Eclipse Checkstyle plugin on any project uses the
> RAT plugin, then it will fail the apache-rat:check goal automatically. This
> is because the Eclipse plugin generates a hidden file (.checkstyle) which
> will not have the required licence file. Since this file is not part of the
> artifact produced, it should be excluded from consideration by RAT. I used
> the Maven Clean plugin to reproduce this but any project that uses the RAT
> plugin will suffice.
> Impact: Cannot use work on projects that depend on the RAT plugin in Eclipse
> if the Eclipse Checkstyle plugin is used.
> Fix: Add .checkstyle to the list of exclusions. Build RAT with attached
> patch and rebuild Clean plugin with it. This is a short-term fix. A better
> fix would be to design a way register exclusions with RAT (eg Eclipse
> Checkstyle could register .checkstyle).
