Claude Warren commented on RAT-352:
-----------------------------------
[~nchammas] I think that this is mostly solved in the Harmonize UI work.
However it also seems to be related to
[RAT-240|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-240]. If you look at
RAT-240 you can see that I have offered to help develop a .ratignore processor.
Let me know if you are interested in working on that.
> Enable use of wildcard expressions in exclude file
> --------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: RAT-352
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-352
> Project: Apache Rat
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Client - cli
> Reporter: Nicholas Chammas
> Priority: Minor
>
> Due to the widespread use of git, I would find it much more intuitive if
> .rat-excludes worked like .gitignore. I think most people on the Spark
> project would agree (though, fair disclosure, I haven't polled them).
> Would it make sense to add a CLI option instructing RAT to interpret entries
> in the exclude file as wildcard expressions (as opposed to regular
> expressions) that work more or less like .gitignore?
> This feature request is somewhat related to RAT-265.
