Apache headers checking

Hello All,

I'm wonder why "hand made" tools like ApacheLicenceHeaderTest.java
are being used to check file headers?

Maybe special maven plugin like
                    <groupId>org.apache.rat</groupId>
                    <artifactId>apache-rat-plugin</artifactId>
                    <version>0.12</version>
Should be used instead?

I don't know what is the reason. I guess RAT was immature at the time
ApacheLicenceHeaderTest
was introduced (~ 2007).
I don't think it is worth it to change something that never led to any
problems.

Good point. I just cloned a subproject / did my changes and it came with this. +1 to use maven if there is no special use case.

kind regards
