There is an interesting scenario, where a Maven project is failing to run the maven-rat plugin (not finding some files) due to the user.dir system property is being altered from the original project root patch (the calling directory) to the sub-sub project path where the pom.xml is defining <forkCount>0</forkCount>. This rat anomaly vanishes as soon I remove the <forkCount>0</forkCount>. A quick grep revealed several user.dir manipulations, I suspect the surefire plugin to be the origin of the anomaly. A description of the use case to reproduce and more details have been posted to the rat plugin mailing list, see https://lists.apache.org/thread/dmfg87fgtfyzoog20rmmj5nnds9kwotq
Perhaps one of you is curious to take a quick look at it. Thanks in advance and greetings from Berlin! Svante
