I'm in the same boat. I tend to save the output of svn diff to the development root directory when I'm switching to a different issue / task.
It's certainly possible to selectively skip the rat check - if we make some changes to pom.xml. It's just going to defer the build problem until someone else does a build. A better fix would be to request an update to RAT such that it only checks files which are in version control - or optionally accepts an exclude list from a file ( we could then populate the file with output from svn stat). There may be other options too, but I'd try the RAT route first - especially if more people are affected by this change. -mike On Wed, Jun 9, 2010 at 8:36 AM, Rick Curtis <[email protected]> wrote: > Now that rat runs as part of my local builds, is there some way that I can > disable it via a system property?
