Paul Merlin commented on RAT-163:
---------------------------------

Hi all,

As part of ZEST-27 I reused the work [~davidzchen] did in SAMZA-285. Then I took time to polish the code a bit, write tests and package it as a proper Gradle Plugin. I'd like to donate this code to the Apache Creadur project, if interested.

For now the code sits on Github: https://github.com/eskatos/creadur-rat-gradle
I published a version of the plugin to https://plugins.gradle.org/ (under a non-apache namespace) so one can test/use it easily.

I did not investigate if it is possible to build/publish gradle plugins using maven, so I don't know if it could be possible to include that work in the `creadur-rat` code repo.

Tell me what you think

Cheers

/Paul

> A number of new Apache projects, such as Samza, are using Gradle. However, there currently does not exist a Rat plugin for Gradle. The closest alternative, the Gradle License Plugin (https://github.com/hierynomus/license-gradle-plugin) is not flexible enough compared to Rat for use cases such as defining exclusion rules.
> I have created a preliminary Gradle Rat plugin as part of SAMZA-285 and would like to clean it up and make it a proper Gradle Rat plugin.
