Benjamin Marwell commented on MCHECKSTYLE-264:
----------------------------------------------
I think the use cases are a little different here. For one, not the maven
plugin is doing the license check, but the {{checkstyle.jar}} is. This plugin
only executes checkstyle.
On the other hand, the checks are somewhat different. Checkstyle can check if
there is a somewhat similar header, and that's it. RAT can check license types
etc.
So, if you are using the rat plugin, you can just disable the checkstyle
header/license check completely. Is this good enough?

> Currently i have issues related to that checkstyle checks the license of a

> In the example in JXR i have to make a configuration for apache-rat-plugin
> and for checkstyle plugin.
