Any help in solving this problem will help me a lot. THANK YOU

Where and how can i update rat version. I cannot find any rat jar file . thank you @ khmarbaise — Uttam_k, Jun 25 '18 at 18:11
Just update the version somewhere in your pom file there must be some entry about apache-rat-plugin or you are using a parent where it is defined? — khmarbaise, Jun 25 '18 at 18:23
Is there a good reason why you use a 1.2.0 RC1 instead of 1.2.0 ? — khmarbaise, Jun 25 '18 at 18:24
I am using a parent folder in eclipse to execute above command.And there is no reason for me to use 1.2.0 RC1(I just downloaded it from [link](https://github.com/apache/giraph/releases) ) — Uttam_k, Jun 25 '18 at 19:14

I found a workaround for this as I was facing a similar problem.

mvn clean install -PallModules -Drat.numUnapprovedLicenses=200 -DskipTests

-Drat.numUnapprovedLicenses=200 This helps to suppress the error.

Thanks @leftjoin for the comment.

There must be a file created by Apache Rat in the path giraph-gora/target/rat.txt (as this is the failed project). This file will contain details on the files in your projects that do not have a proper licence (as well as the ones that do but these are not of any interest to you).

Most likely, the case is that the files produced by eclipse (.classpath, .project, org.eclipse.core.resources.prefs, org.eclipse.m2e.core.prefs,org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs) are creating the problem. If you remove them you will be able to compile giraph properly.
