"PMD version: 6.55.0" should be "Running PMD version 6.55.0 to target/pmd.xml"
when PMD is being invoked, to clearly show what is being done
and yes, when it's about PMD result, displaying the result before failing makes
sense
and before "Rendering content ", showing "Creating site PMD report" would
explain why skin is relevant on that task
