<p>This project started as just <a href="https://code.google.com/p/arat/">Rat</a>, a release auditing tool good with licenses, coded in Java with plugins for <a href="https://ant.apache.org">Ant</a>
and
<a href="https://maven.apache.org">Maven</a>. After adding some new tricks, it became clear that creating one uber-tool in one language is less useful than collecting a suite: </p>
<ul>
<li><a href="rat">Apache Rat</a>™ audits license headers — the boilerplate text needed in most source files. Coded in Java, it runs from the command line with plugins for Maven and Ant. Download <a href="rat/download_rat.cgi">the latest release</a> or read the <a href="release-notes/rat.txt">release notes</a>.</li>
<li><a href="tentacles">Apache Tentacles</a>™ helps to audit in bulk components uploaded to a staging repository. Coded in Java, it runs from the command line.</li>
<li><a href="whisker">Apache Whisker</a>™ assists assembled applications maintain correct legal documentation. Coded in Java, it runs from the command line or as a plugin for Maven. </li>
