There is some confusion here so we obviously need to clean up the documentation.
Maven has always (in one or more of the UIs) excluded the files in the standard excludes. I don't like it but I did not want to break things going forward when putting in the new processes. Perhaps for V1 we should revisit what is included/excluded by standard. However, the equivalent for "useMavenDefaultExcludes" is "<inputExcludeStd><std>MAVEN</std></inputExlcudeStd>" If you want to not exclude the standard exclusion use "<inputIncludeStd><std>STANDARD_PATTERNS<std></inputINcludeStd>" References: https://creadur.apache.org/rat/apache-rat-plugin/mvn_options.html https://creadur.apache.org/rat017/apache-rat/standard_collections.html https://creadur.apache.org/rat017/apache-rat/cli_options.html https://creadur.apache.org/rat017/apache-rat/name_xref.html On Fri, Dec 5, 2025 at 6:34 PM Slawomir Jaranowski (Jira) <[email protected]> wrote: > Slawomir Jaranowski created RAT-525: > --------------------------------------- > > Summary: Impossible to manage Standard Collections for > exclusions > Key: RAT-525 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-525 > Project: Apache RAT > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.17 > Reporter: Slawomir Jaranowski > > > By default such collections are used: > > {noformat} > [INFO] Excluding MAVEN collection. > [INFO] Excluding ECLIPSE collection. > [INFO] Excluding IDEA collection. > [INFO] Processing exclude file from STANDARD_SCMS. > [INFO] Excluding STANDARD_SCMS collection. > [INFO] Excluding MISC collection. > [INFO] Excluding HIDDEN_DIR collection. > {noformat} > > there are parameters like: {{useMavenDefaultExcludes}} which can exclude > {{MAVEN}} but it is deprecated, and I see: > > {noformat} > [WARNING] Parameter 'useMavenDefaultExcludes' (user property > 'rat.useMavenDefaultExcludes') is deprecated: When set to true specifies > that the MAVEN patterns are excluded.
