Description

Wicket and all it's accompanying projects when being worked on in Eclipse tend to fail several ApacheLicenceHeaderTest as it is an IDE that creates .settings directory containing several xml projects' metadata files. There are 6 solutions:
1. don't use eclipse
2. skip tests entirely (-Dmaven.test.skip=true passed on the CLI when invoking maven)
3. skip running the tests (-DskipTests)
4. compile & run but ignore tests failures (-Dmaven.test.failure.ignore=true)
5. Modify the ApacheLicenceHeaderTests so that the xml files in the .settings directories are ignored
IMHO, having considered all pros and cons, only 5. is a an option. As there already is an Eclipse originating .xml file that gets ignored I hope that you don't mind going this way. The patch to follow shortly.
