Philipp Ottlinger updated RAT-171:
----------------------------------
Description:
h3. Context
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. Implemented for
Currently implemented for the following soure code management systems:
* SVN
* Git
* Bazaar
* Mercurial and
* CVS.
The solution just takes each line of the ignore file as an exclusion that is
not a comment line.
Thus no special logics for exclusions are parsed or different functionalities
of a SCM taken into account.
Each line is taken as it is and added to RAT's default exclusions.
h3. Example usage
You can configure parsing SCM ignore files by a environment variable
{code:java}
mvn -U -debug -Drat.parseSCMIgnoresAsExcludes=true
{code}
or in your configuration section of apache-rat-maven plugin
{code:java}
<parseSCMIgnoresAsExcludes>true</parseSCMIgnoresAsExcludes>
{code}
This features is enabled by default.
In case you want to speed up the build you may disable it and set it to
{code:java}
false
{code}
.
