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

Sebb created RAT-138:
------------------------

             Summary: RAT runs very slowly on some input
                 Key: RAT-138
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-138
             Project: Apache Rat
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: engine
    Affects Versions: 0.9
            Reporter: Sebb


Commons IO discovered that mvn site was spending a lot of time running RAT 0.9. Reverting to 0.8 fixes the problem.
Turns out that certain files seem to cause RAT to chew CPU in the Pattern.matcher; here is a sample stack trace from a thread dump:

I assume there must be a problem with one of the REs which is triggering lots of backtracking when applied to files under site-content/, which is a working copy of:

https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/websites/production/commons/content/proper/commons-io
Last Changed Rev: 861378

This directory should not have been included in the RAT scan, but the files don't cause problems for RAT 0.8.
