[jira] [Commented] (SAMZA-285) Use Apache Rat for release audit tests

["David Chen (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SAMZA-285?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14053293#comment-14053293 ] 

David Chen commented on SAMZA-285:
----------------------------------

Got most of this working, including specifying which files should be excluded from the Rat checks. Two things left to do:

 * Add an XSL stylesheet to print a more readable HTML report rather than the default XML report.
 * Add remaining exclusion rules.

> The license-gradle-plugin that we currently use for release audit checks is not very flexible and does not provide an easy way to make exceptions for files like SVG and Jekyll content files (see SAMZA-92).
> Other Apache projects make use use of Apache Rat but usually with Ant or Maven. However, it does appear that it is possible to use Rat with Gradle: https://gist.github.com/kellyrob99/2860971
