Claude Warren created RAT-330:
---------------------------------
Summary: Simplify the definition of file types.
Key: RAT-330
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-330
Project: Apache Rat
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: engine
Affects Versions: 0.16
Reporter: Claude Warren
Currently the file types are detected in the AbstractLicenseAppender and are
hardcoded.
This change should explore
* defining the file types in configuration files.
* Extracting the type detection from the AbstractLicenseAppender so that it
can be used in the text processing matchers.
* If information about start and end block comments symbols as well as single
line symbols should be maintained with the type.
* If information about required initial lines should be kept with the type.
It should also remove the dependency on IOUtils.closeQuietly() in the
AbstractLicenseAppender.
