[jira] [Created] (RAT-389) Move add functionality into a separate tool.

Claude Warren created RAT-389:
---------------------------------

             Summary: Move add functionality into a separate tool.
                 Key: RAT-389
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-389
             Project: Apache Rat
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: configuration, core engine
    Affects Versions: 0.16.1
            Reporter: Claude Warren


Rat is a Release Audit Tool.  It should only report on the what exists and not make changes.

The change option -A or -a causes problem in that it creates files that exist in the source tree and leaves other tell tale signs that it was run.  These tend to get in the way of cleanly generating data for the reports.

This proposal is to extract the code that adds headers into a separate tool in the tools package.  This will simplify the mainline code and allow independent progression on the update functionality.
