Description

I would very much like to see a list of files in which the headers are missing in the regular maven output, rather than in the target/rat.txt file. So, two possible requests here:

1) output list of offending files in regular maven output, so a trip to target/rat.txt is not necessary (make this configurable?)
2) if target/rat.txt is the only output, change the maven output to indicate where to look. Currently, only the following is output: "[INFO] Too many unapproved licenses: 1" Perhaps you can append ", please see target/rat.txt" for those new to RAT plugin.
