Claude Warren commented on RAT-98:
----------------------------------
[~robertburrelldonkin], [~sebb], and [~denn...@apache.org] :
Excluded files are not listed in the report. In many cases there would be too
many particularly since we now have:
--input-exclude -> excludes files based on a pattern
--input-exclude-file -> excludes files based on contents of a file of patterns.
--input-exclude-parsed-scm -> excludes files based on SCM file like .gitignore
or .cvsignore defined in a Standard Collection
--input-exclude-std -> excludes Standard Collections of files like GIT ignoring
**/.gitignore and **/.git
There is also
--input-include -> includes files based on a pattern
--input-include-file -> includes files based on contents of a file of patterns.
--input-include-std -> includes Standard Collections of files like GIT ignoring
**/.gitignore and **/.git
The definition of all the Standard Collections are listed in the help.
We could add another option
--output-exclude-log <file> -> log the excluded file names to a file.
Would this work for you?
> Maven RAT report does not document skipped files

> Key: RAT-98
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-98
> Project: Apache Rat
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Sebb
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 0.17
>
>
> The Maven RAT report should document which files have been skipped using the
> <exclude> option.
> Either by listing the configuration details, or better by listing the file
> names with a marker, e.g. EX to show they were deliberately skipped.
> Note: this only refers to files listed in <exclude> entries, not files which
> are excluded by default.
