During local development, I'm regularly annoyed by spurious RAT failures. While RAT does have some limitations -- for example, because it never shells out to
git, it can't ignore untracked files -- newer versions do have improved support for.gitignorefiles, including the global gitignore file when present at~/.config/git/ignore(the default location). Additionally, the default exclusions have been improved, so we no longer need quite as much manual configuration.Specific changes:
apache-rat-plugindirectly to 0.17. (In the version of the Apache parent POM we are using, there is no property we can override to do this.)apache-rat:checkto only run in:httpcore5-parent, instead of separately validating each subproject.<exclude>to<inputExclude>as the former is now deprecated.
