I use Saxon because it's the only way I know how to do this. Projects builds and RAT reports are spread out over a number of slave machines. After the report is run the rat-report.xml is then copied to the master machine where saxon uses an xslt to then produce the html for each and also the combined html rat summary report. Anyway, that part is now working great. > > > (http://ci.apache.org/projects/rat-master-summary.html) > > Is there any way to have that page gather input from sources other than > buildbot?

We need a rat-report.xml file so that it can be pulled into the page. If that file is available publically I guess we can use curl or something to grab it, but that is assuming you are already running RAT reports and that you are producing xml output. It does not matter to me whether or not projects are using other CI builds elsewhere for running their tests. They are welcome to and I encourage the use of using Buildbot purely for RAT reports if that's all they want to use it for. Then it is automatic that the results will also be displayed in the master-rat-summary table (with a link to their individual html report) > > >>> How can I still use method two but get an xml output file like the > -x > >>> option in method one gives? > > >> This is now possible with trunk if you use format="xml" on the task. > >> BTW, it is probably better to use the task's reportfile attribute > >> rather than redirecting Ant's output. > > > This is fantastic, thank you, I'll try it all out today! > > Let me know how things work out. It worked out great. Now I have projects using rat-excludes files and I have xml output that I needed to create the html views and added them to http://ci.apache.org/projects/rat-master-summary.html page.
