no jira, perhaps due to a new maven installation (3.6.1), the configuration for the rat plugin started requiring the append for combine.children
<execution>
<id>default-cli</id>
<configuration>
- <excludes>
+ <excludes combine.children="append">
<exclude>release.properties</exclude> <!-- release generated artifact -->
<exclude>src/test/resources/ManualTests/*</exclude> <!-- test data -->
<exclude>marker-file-identifying-*</exclude>
