> If you try to configure the Eclipse Checkstyle plugin on any project uses the RAT plugin, then it will fail the apache-rat:check goal automatically.  This is because the Eclipse plugin generates a hidden file (.checkstyle) which will not have the required licence file.  Since this file is not part of the artifact produced, it should be excluded from consideration by RAT.  I used the Maven Clean plugin to reproduce this but any project that uses the RAT plugin will suffice.
> Impact: Cannot use work on projects that depend on the RAT plugin in Eclipse if the Eclipse Checkstyle plugin is used.
> Fix: Add .checkstyle to the list of exclusions.  Build RAT with attached patch and rebuild Clean plugin with it.  This is a short-term fix.  A better fix would be to design a way register exclusions with RAT (eg Eclipse Checkstyle could register .checkstyle).
