Running the RAT Tool (from Nour)
Here's how I used RAT 1:
1. mvn clean eclipse:clean
This step to move any files which are not part of source code and
any binary file as a result of a build.
2. I checked out the source code of RAT tool and built a JAR.
3- I have an updated source code working copy of Isis trunk.
4- java -jar apache-rat-0.8-SNAPSHOT.jar ./
Out of that command I got the attached RAT report.
I could interpret the information there by comparing it with a report
I generated for Apache OpenEJB 2, but I still need someone to have a
look at it more specifically for files IDK what they are used for, for
example the *.hsp files and like.
But as a general note, I believe we need to add ASL header for each
and every file which going to be included in our source tar-ball and
which is not generated as generated files don't need to have that
header, if we can add it thats better but if not then no problem.

...
- also a fantastic write-up (so Mark tells us) about how to release using the stuff inherited from org.apache:apache-parent:7 (as we do).
- It was put together by Donald Woods, and can be found at http://incubator.apache.org/bval/cwiki/release-process.html
Nour's notes
I found these resources as start to get a hands on experience about
Apache release process.
