[jira] [Commented] (COMMONSRDF-18) Remove mycila license-plugin from build

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

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMMONSRDF-18?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14504767#comment-14504767 ] 

Sergio Fernández commented on COMMONSRDF-18:
--------------------------------------------

The mycila plugin not only checks the headers, but also to format the (missing) headers. I do not think RAT can also do it... right?

It's true that goal was more useful in the past when starting the project, but it could be still helpful in the future. 

XML is well supported; can you please detail your issues?

> The mycila license plugin is doing the same checks as rat plugin on headers.
> Is it doing something else as well (e.g. check dependencies)? 
> If not, I propose to remove the mycila plugin in favour of the apache rat plugin (which we get through the parent anyway), as the mycila plugin  seems very picky about the headers (e.g. the package-info.java files were not accepted, if you reformat an XML file it is not accepted).
