These can be done with the asf parent POM (though we haven't moved the configuration up there yet, it's already possible).
A POM cannot provide code. For example, it cannot provide a jar file with the current LICENSE.txt or NOTICE.txt. A plugin can. In other words, my proposal would enable to use the maven-asf-plugin in the asf parent POM.

Yes, but the RAT plugin is usefull beyond the ASF. For example, I might use it to verify that the source files contain my companies copyright headers, not the ASF's. My proposal would mean that the maven-asf-plugin would use the RAT plugin. (More precisely, it's jar file, because unfortunately a plugin cannot use another plugin directly, doesn't it?)

There is no reason not to do reuse such tools in the plugin. The main idea would be to simplify the process. Jochen -- How fast can a year go?
