François Guillot commented on RAT-314:
--------------------------------------
[~pottlinger], you can reproduce with this very simple reproducer project:
[https://github.com/facewindu/RAT-314]
Just check out the master branch, and execute "mvn clean apache-rat:check"
The build will fail due to
[WARNING] Files with unapproved licenses:
.mvn/extensions.xml
Anything that is under ".mvn" should not be checked, as this is an internal
directory used by Maven, I think.
I guess this was the intent of [this default
exclusion|https://github.com/apache/creadur-rat/blob/bcaff1efdbb942c1b69e2b930dad489d65fd53e8/apache-rat-plugin/src/main/java/org/apache/rat/mp/util/ExclusionHelper.java#L46]
but instead of writing it ".mvn", it should be done as for the files within
the target folder ("target/**/*"), so ".mvn/**/*"
There is even a comment about that in code "// Project configuration since
Maven 3.3.1 which contains maven.config, jvm.config, extensions.xml" but
currently, it only avoids checking the ".mvn" dir itself, not recursively
inside it (which is useless).
> .mvn folder default exclude is not respected

> Reporter: François Guillot
> Priority: Minor
