Description

mvn apache-rat:check

fails for projects like commons-lang and commons-compress.

Commons lang uses this plugin configuration:

<plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.rat</groupId>
        <artifactId>apache-rat-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
          <excludes>
            <exclude>site-content/**</exclude>
            <exclude>src/site/resources/.htaccess</exclude>
            <exclude>src/site/resources/download_lang.cgi</exclude>
            <exclude>src/site/resources/release-notes/RELEASE-NOTES-*.txt</exclude>
            <exclude>src/test/resources/lang-708-input.txt</exclude>
          </excludes>
        </configuration>
</plugin>

see https://github.com/apache/commons-lang/blob/master/pom.xml#L733

mvn apache-rat:check

fails and rat.txt contains:

!????? src/site/resources/.htaccess
!????? src/site/resources/release-notes/RELEASE-NOTES-1.0.1.txt

I guess this is because I'm using Windows.
