[jira] [Commented] (MPOM-163) apache-rat-plugin exclude .checkstyle file created by Eclipse Checkstyle plugin

["Hervé Boutemy (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MPOM-163?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16601251#comment-16601251 ] 

Hervé Boutemy commented on MPOM-163:
------------------------------------

is this request still valid? I checked but could not find any .checktyle line in any .gitignore...

I we do the rat configuration, we need it in Apache parent POM

 

and opening an issue to RAT to reuse .gitignore seems a very good idea!

> I had trouble with the apache-rat-plugin enforced by the ASF Parent POM because it stumbled upon and did not like the the .checkstyle files which by the Eclipse Checkstyle plugin (see http://eclipse-cs.sourceforge.net) unfortunately creates at the root of every (Eclipse) project (= artifact). 
> FYI: These .checkstyle are normally on .gitignore. (PS: What would be really cool would be if the apache-rat-plugin was smart enough to ignore files that are in .gitignore...)
> Perhaps you'd be open to adding this file to the excludes of the apache-rat-plugin in the ASF Parent POM?  I'll send you a pull request with a suggestion (if PR on GH are acceptable; else plz clarify how to contribute; FYI am ASF member).
> In the mean time, it's easy enough to work around using {{-Drat.skip}} - once you understood what it's not happy about.. ;-)
