Apache Rat is reporting unapproved licenses. I don't know anything
about Rat. Is there someway for Rat to report which files are missing
licenses?

If you look in the target directory, after running "mvn rat:check",
you can see a "rat.txt" file, which has the details. You can also run
"mvn rat:rat" (the goal executed for the site build when the rat
plugin is included as a site report) if you want to see it in a
prettier format (target/site/rat-report.html).

Thanks. I checked the rat.txt file and saw 56 files listed with
question marked. Then I commented out the exclusion section of the rat
configuration in pom.xml. There was no change in rat.txt. It seems
like the exclusion list is ignored. There is a dearth of information
about this topic on Google. I'd like to help resolve this issue but I
don't know how.

If someone verifies this issue (56 files unapproved by rat), then I'll
create a JIRA ticket.

I've noticed that different systems (perhaps different versions of the  
rat plugin) can show different numbers of files as missing licenses.  
For example some know that odp files are binary and some do not. So we  
need a better method than counting them. I didn't know that the  
exclusion lists weren't working. We should look into that.

I've checked the rat source code[1] and followed the trail to the codehaus
DirectoryScanner[2]
and don't find any code that reads or obeys an exclude list other than some
defaults
that can be turned on or off. These default excludes seem to be hard coded
everywhere,
e.g. a set of excludes for maven, a set for eclipse, nothing project
specific.

Billie-- any way around the issue with different versions of rat
considering the odp files binary? I'm noticing they're getting marked for
me on OSX 10.7.5, and seem to be the difference in the file counts.
