pmd-ext contains PMD (http://pmd.sourceforge.net/) libraries. I have committed them long time ago in an attempt to bring some static analysis toools to nutch sources. There was a short discussion around it and we all thought t was worth doing but it never gained enough momentum. There is a pmd target in build.xml file that uses it - they are not needed in runtime nor for standard builds. As nutch is built using hudson now I think it would be worth to integrate pmd (and checkstyle/findbugs/cobertura might be also interesting) - hudson has very nice plugins for such tools. I am using it in my daily job and I found it valuable. But as I am not active committer now (I only try to follow mailing lists) I do not think it is my call. But if everyone will be interested I can try to look at integration (but it will move forward slowly - my youngest kid was born just 2 months ago and it takes a lot of attention). Piotr
