Please don't get it as criticism, but according to for ex. this service: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.rat/apache-rat-plugin rat-plugin usually is released one in a year or two :))) I would suggest to release twice a year this will address dependencies update etc. :)) > > HTH > Phil -- Best regards, Maxim
