Question

I’m currently running into a problem using Hudson’s PMD-plugin on a maven2-android project.
The part within my POM look like this:

  <reporting>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-pmd-plugins</artifactId>
        <configuration>
          <linkXref>true</linkXref>
          <sourceEncoding>UTF-8</sourceEncoding>
          <targetJdk>1.6</targetJdk>
          <rulesets>
            <ruleset>Where should this point?</ruleset>
          </rulesets>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </reporting>

Unluckily I can’t find any to the location of the android-ruleset. Anyone got the address?

Answer 1

With the latest PMD (4.2.5, February 2009), an android.xml file is included, with Android-specific rules.

You could try and refer that file, a bit like in this thread.

<ruleset>rulesets/android.xml</ruleset>
