--------------------------------------

             Summary: apache-rat-plugin exclude .checkstyle file created by Eclipse Checkstyle plugin
                 Key: MPOM-163
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MPOM-163
             Project: Maven POMs
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Michael Vorburger


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.. ;-)
