First I can say there is no relationship to Windows. It will fail also on Mac and Linux (not tested).

The problem is simply if you call the goal directly via: {{mvn apache-rat:check}} without the life cycle the execution with the id {{default-cli}} will be used to configure the appropriate plugin. In this case the plugin is configured in the reporting area which means only for running {{mvn site}} but not for running out of the life cycle. 

This problem can be simply solved by moving the configuration in a {{pluginManagement}} area which will result in a working execution.
I have attached a patch to this issue which solves the configuration issue in commons...

> {code}mvn apache-rat:check{code} fails for projects like commons-lang and commons-compress.
> Commons lang uses this plugin configuration:
> {code}<plugin>

>         <artifactId>apache-rat-plugin</artifactId>
>         <configuration>

>         </configuration>
> </plugin>{code}
> see https://github.com/apache/commons-lang/blob/master/pom.xml#L733
> {code}mvn apache-rat:check{code} fails and rat.txt contains:
> {code}!????? src/site/resources/.htaccess
> !????? src/site/resources/release-notes/RELEASE-NOTES-1.0.1.txt{code}
> I guess this is because I'm using Windows.
