> 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
> Priority: Minor
> Original Estimate: 168h
> Remaining Estimate: 168h
>
> 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.
