Apache Rat and JSON files

[Chris Herrera <ch...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

I am working on a contribution, and as part of it, there is a json file. I cannot put comments in that json file and, as such, it does not pass the rat check. Has anyone dealt with this issue before?

Regards,
Chris

I was just about to respond to myself, thanks Aldrin!

For anyone else searching just add this to the pom

<plugins>
    <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.rat</groupId>
        <artifactId>apache-rat-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
            <excludes combine.children="append">
                <exclude>src/test/resources/*.json</exclude>
            </excludes>
        </configuration>
    </plugin>
</plugins>

Regards,
Chris

You can provide exclusions for files such as this in the pom.xml. Don't
have specific path handy as on mobile but some grep'ing of other .json file
names should show the way.
