Maven Pluggin issues

[Suresh Marru <sm...@cs.indiana.edu>]

Hello Rat Dev's,

Firstly thanks for the wonderful tool which makes it so easy to do license header checks. Can you please help me with an issue with maven-rat-pluggin. 

I am trying to do a release check of Apache Airavata code [1], when I try the rat from command line, it works well and successes all license headers, success message is [2], but when I try to run the maven plugging, I get errors "Too many unapproved licenses:" error message is [3]. 

Any ideas for this discrepancy and how do I debug this issue?

I am at apache con this week, if any dev's here can help me identify the problem, I will greatly appreciate it. 

Thanks,
Suresh

I'm not a maven plugin expert but I can try.

This is RAT 0.8.

This is RAT 0.7.

Can the version difference explain the different outcome?
