-------------------------------------

             Summary: Allow configuration of files to be scanned for CLI module
                 Key: RAT-259
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-259
             Project: Apache Rat
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: cli
    Affects Versions: 0.13
            Reporter: Philipp Ottlinger


After talks at ApacheCon 2019 in Berlin [~higrys][~potiuk] asked for a 
possibility to specify the files that need to be scanned.

This could be added as a new CLI option that specifies a file to read from.
Each line will contain one file that RAT scans with its default configuration 
(as the current CLI scan does).

Thus a possible run would be:
{code}
java -jar rat.jar -scan myfiles.txt
{code}

"-scan" will be an exclusive option, thus all other existing
exclusions options will not be allowed, when this option is used.

myfile.txt may contain comments (starting with "#") or empty lines, all else 
will be treated as files.
