>             Project: Apache Rat
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: cli
>    Affects Versions: 0.13

> After talks at ApacheCon 2019 in Berlin [~higrys][~potiuk] asked for a possibility to specify the files that need to be scanned.
> This could be added as a new CLI option that specifies a file to read from.
> Each line will contain one file that RAT scans with its default configuration (as the current CLI scan does).
> Thus a possible run would be:
> {code}
> java -jar rat.jar -scan myfiles.txt
> {code}
> "-scan" will be an exclusive option, thus all other existing
> exclusions options will not be allowed, when this option is used.
> myfile.txt may contain comments (starting with "#") or empty lines, all else will be treated as files.
