PMD plugin <configuration> should accept dependency entries -----------------------------------------------------------
Key: MPMD-22 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPMD-22 Project: Maven 2.x Pmd Plugin Type: New Feature Reporter: Subhash Chandran As described here: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-pmd-plugin/howto.html The PMD plugin supports configuration of custom ruleset XML files. But in our organization, we have written custom ruleset XMLs that refer Java classes (our PMD extension dependencies). The configuration of the PMD plugin should allow these dependencies to be specified. Since we do not have this feature in the current release, we at our organization are forced to maintain a fork of the PMD plugin with the necessary dependencies added. A suggested format: <configuration> <rulesets> <ruleset>/rulesets/basic.xml</ruleset> <ruleset>/rulesets/controversial.xml</ruleset> <ruleset>d:\rulesets\strings.xml</ruleset> <ruleset>http://localhost/design.xml</ruleset> </rulesets> {color:red} <dependency> <groupId>junit</groupId> <artifactId>junit</artifactId> <version>4.0</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> {color} <format>xml</format> <linkXref>true</linkXref> <sourceEncoding>utf-8</sourceEncoding> <minimumTokens>100</minimumTokens> </configuration> -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
