Michael Vorburger commented on RAT-294:
---------------------------------------
Oh, wait I can now see from staring at
[https://github.com/apache/creadur-rat/blob/master/apache-rat-plugin/src/main/java/org/apache/rat/mp/RatCheckMojo.java]
that there IS a {{rat.consoleOutput}} which @since 0.12 _"Whether to output
the names of files that have unapproved licenses to the console. Defaults to
true to ease builds in containers where you are unable to access rat.txt
easily."_ - that's exactly what I was hoping for!
It's even documented on
[https://creadur.apache.org/rat/apache-rat-plugin/check-mojo.html#consoleOutput]!
;) But the site says its Default value is: false even though the code has a
defaultValue = "true"... this appears to have been changed 2 years ago in
[https://github.com/apache/creadur-rat/pull/19], for RAT-270 in 0.14; that site
is just still showing 0.13.
Until a 0.14 version is released (more than 2 years?!), it seems easy enough to
make the Apache Log4j flip that configuration - so done in
[https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/pull/686.]
I'm closing this issue.

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Michael Vorburger
> Priority: Major

> Based on my experience with RAT in
> https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/pull/653:
> It would be cool if the {{apache-rat-plugin}} would just print the list of
> files with unapproved license to the console via STDOUT, instead of only into
> the {{target/rat.txt}} file - just because such files are typically much
> harder to get your hands on on a headless CI server than whatever was spewed
> to STDOUT on build logs.
