I've just done a test with IO, and the speed problem seems to be related to the SVN files under site-content. These seem to cause 0.9 to hang - a thread dump shows the code is mainly at the line:
at org.apache.rat.analysis.license.FullTextMatchingLicense.match(FullTextMatchingLicense.java:79) This is calling Pattern.matcher() so I assume there must be some kind of content that causes the regex engine to churn. Perhaps the pattern is causing excess backtracking. I've no idea why 0.9 has a problem with these particular files, but they should not be included in the RAT check anyway. If you want to test RAT on its own: mvn apache-rat:rat [-Dcommons.rat.version=0.9] Obviously there is a bug in RAT 0.9, but maybe we can avoid it by excluding site-content. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
