Announce: Apache RAT Incubating 0.6
The Apache RAT team is proud to announce the availability of Apache RAT 0.6.
RAT (Release Audit Tool) is a tool, which is designed to verify the
compliance with legal policies. A typical use case would be the
presence of license headers in ASF projects.
RAT was initially developed as a Google project (see
http://code.google.com/p/arat/), but is now incubating as an Apache
project: This is the first version using the org.apache package
structure and related names. RAT users are strongly encouraged to
migrate, as the old Google version will no longer be maintained.
Disclaimer: Apache RAT is an effort undergoing incubation at The
Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Incubator PMC.
Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further
review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision
making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other
successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a
reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does
indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
The RAT distribution is available at
http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/incubator/rat
The RAT web site is at
http://incubator.apache.org/rat/
The RAT source code repository is at
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/rat/main/
For questions, please contact the RAT developers mailing list at
rat-dev@incubator.apache.org

Huh? Release announcements are not press releases.
BR,

Well done for getting this out the door.
One note for future releases.... I didn't see this announcement going
through the PRC. All announcements that may be picked up by the press
need to go through the PRC for approval.

What's the problem, in your opinion? Within Maven, groupId = org.apache.rat,
artifactId=apache-rat-plugin, version=0.6, should do the trick. If it
doesn't, that's an error.
