Andreas Dangel commented on MPMD-225:
-------------------------------------
There is already a parameter: `skipEmptyReport`
> skipEmptyReport:
> Skip the PMD/CPD report generation if there are no violations or duplications
> found. Defaults to true.
>
> Type: boolean
> Since: 3.1
> Required: No
> Default: true
(from
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-pmd-plugin/pmd-mojo.html#skipEmptyReport)
[~languitar] Would this parameter solve your issue? Would it be better to have
the default for this parameter to create the report, rather than skip the empty
report?
> Create report even if no warnings have been found

> Right now, no report for the site plugin is generated if no violations have
> been found. This is sometimes quite confusing as this state cannot be
> distinguished from "the plugin didn't work at all". Checkstyle for example
> just generates an empty report in these cases, which is what I would also
> like for the pmd plugin.
