Description

Thilo found that RAT checking failed on an Intel platform running Ubuntu using a default file encoding of UTF-8. RAT uses the Java Reader (which uses the platform default encoding) and that throws a sun.io.MalformedInputException (see http://markmail.org/message/s7mf3bws63xnyj7b).

The UTF16 encoded files causing this problem are test data, and have the apache license anyway, so exclude these from the Rat check for uimaj-core.
