Running RATThere is a tool called ARAT To run the RAT report try mvn clean mvn rat:check -P rat There should then be a file called target/camel-parent-$VERSION.rat which contains the output of the RAT report. If RAT barfsIts typically that some local file has caused RAT to break. It could be some temporary file generated by the build; maybe a unit test case generated file or some artifact from creating the site or something. Try running svn stat To find the culprits then try re-running RAT. Hopefully future versions will make it a bit easier to diagnose why it barfs. Incidentally the root pom has an excludes element so you can always add some excludes in there to try hide temporary/generated files etc |
