Hi Haoran Meng, thanks for reaching out and for using Apache RAT :)
The exclusion has seen strange behaviour in the last releases as different JDKs handle filtering and pattern matching in a different way. I just pushed some commits to https://github.com/ottlinger/creadur-rat-examples/tree/master/RAT-262 to show how exclusion works. This is not a big project, but it works on my Ubuntu box with $ mvn --version Apache Maven 3.6.3 (cecedd343002696d0abb50b32b541b8a6ba2883f) Maven home: /home/hirsch/software/maven Java version: 11, vendor: Oracle Corporation, runtime: /home/me/jdk-11 Default locale: de_DE, platform encoding: UTF-8 OS name: "linux", version: "5.4.0-26-generic", arch: "amd64", family: "unix" Can you provide a link to your project to see how things are for you?
