[jira] [Comment Edited] (RAT-171) Allow exclude patterns to be read
from a file or files
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-171?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14124647#comment-14124647 ]

------------------------------------------------------------
Following my last comment, I've removed the default processing of the .gitignore file. That should be better accomplished in RAT-172, as each SCM has its own syntax and valid patterns that might not be the same used by the Plexus scanner.
The remaining patch just adds the {{useExclusionsFromFiles}} configuration property so users can have a "rat exclusions file" with all exclusions there, leaving the pom.xml a bit more clean. This can also be used to exclude files from SCM ignore files if needed.

> The apache-rat-plugin ignores by default the .gitignore files. However, for every file/pattern added to those files, an explicit exclusion must be set in the plugin's configuration.
> Given that git-ignored files won't be uploaded to the SCM and shouldn't be part of a release, it would be nice that the apache-rat-plugin automatically considered those git-ignored files as implicit exclusions.
