Thanks for the validation David.

Prompted by Davids useful mail I thought I would point out that I use
RAT in a Maven build system. The build will fail if some adds a file
without a license header. If someone is using a different build system
(e.g. Eclipse) and forgets to run Maven before committing the Hudson
CI server will fail within 15 minutes.

I've found this amazingly useful for keeping things in order. The
configuration (which demonstrates excludes in Maven) is:

<plugin>
        <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
        <artifactId>rat-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
          <excludes>
            <exclude>.pmd</exclude>
            <exclude>derby.log</exclude>
            <exclude>repository/**/*</exclude>
            <exclude>reports/**/*</exclude>
            <exclude>simal/**/*</exclude>
            <exclude>build/**/*</exclude>
            <exclude>simalDOAPFilestore/**/*</exclude>
            <exclude>simalRepository/**/*</exclude>
            <exclude>local.simal.properties</exclude>
            <exclude>local.simal.test.properties</exclude>
          </excludes>
        </configuration>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <phase>verify</phase>
            <goals>
              <goal>check</goal>
            </goals>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>
