Hello Amila, Thanks for your interest. Could you please use rat-dev@ list for related discussions? It is important to build bonds with the community.
As for your questions about rat code base, it is important step to check it out. I envision cut&paste detector as a separate rat module with the same maven-based build system. You code all things from scratch and put into a separate upper level directory. Yes, I hacked URL a bit to get things from SVN. svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/rat/main/trunk/ As for your question about required skills, this level of problem solving is required to participate in any open source project. You are welcome to submit a patch to the web site with URL correction - this is a good test of proper skills. Here is a guide to incubator we site patching [1]. To the best of my understanding you should patch the files [2], [3]. In addition to repository maintenance skills you need java coding skills and project proposal writing skills to succeed. Thanks.
