Release 0.5

[Jochen Wiedmann]

Hi,

I have created a 0.5 release. The SVN tag is RAT_0_5. Will post this
to the Maven repositories tomorrow and publish a new version of the
rat-maven-plugin soon.

Hi Jochen,

There is no main class defined on rat-0.5.jar file and I had to define
it manually.

Adriano Crestani

I have fixed the build script to add the main class in the future, thank you!

I do not believe, that this problem justifies a new release, but I'll
let the others decide.

I would be happy with a wiki page that specified how to use the jar. I
downloaded it but I see no documentation that tells me how to use it.
Guess as your software is becoming more mainstream, more of a
mainstream approaoch to documentation would be advantageous.

My personal recommendation would be to use the rat-maven-plugin, for
which you find documentation at
http://mojo.codehaus.org/rat-maven-plugin .

Unfortunately, that will only help, if you are using Maven 2 as the
build tool. There is also an Ant task. Unfortunately I do not know of
any example for using the Ant task, but if you know Ant, then you
should be able to read the fine details from the source code of the
"report" task. See

http://arat.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/rat/src/java/rat/anttasks/Report.java

If you are using neither Ant nor Maven, then I am lost with hints, sorry,

Jochen

that's why the main class setting is important

i use RAT primarily from the command line to review releases but
jochen has build a useful reporting tool on it

really it needs to be split up sometime soon into a modules
