Please describe the bug 🐞

I checked out main and used docker-used maven (https://hub.docker.com/_/maven) to run mvn clean package but it fails with this error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.rat:apache-rat-plugin:0.16.1:check (default) on project xtable: Too many files with unapproved license: 624 See RAT report in: /usr/src/mymaven/target/rat.txt -> [Help 1]

To reproduce:

git checkout main
docker run -it --rm --name my-maven-project -v "$(pwd)":/usr/src/mymaven -w /usr/src/mymaven maven:3.8-openjdk-11-slim mvn clean package

The last part of the build output is:

adding -Drat.skip seems to fix it, but this isn't included in the README as far as I can tell

[eastlondoner]

it also fails with the same error when running mvn install -DskipTests

Are you sure you don't have any local/uncommitted files without the apache header when running mvn install -DskipTests ?

[eastlondoner]

Ah! You’re right, sorry.I have my environment set up so that the m2 cache is separate for each repo and written to a .m2 directory. The files it was complaining about are all in there.Sent from my iPhoneOn 1 Aug 2024, at 14:50, Vinish Reddy ***@***.***> wrote: Are you sure you don't have any local/uncommitted files without the apache header when running mvn install -DskipTests ? —Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.You are receiving this because you authored the thread.Message ID: ***@***.***>

Closing this, no longer an issue.
