If I configure maven-pmd-plugin to use <format>txt</format> for the report, then `mvn clean && mvn pmd:check` messes up, attempting to load the report from `target/pmd.xml` instead of `target/pmd.txt`.
I tried specifying <format>txt</format> in both <build> and <reporting> plugin sections, but mvn:check still doesn't know about the txt file. I'm not sure if maven-pmd-plugin is able to parse back the violations from the text format. If not, then maybe a good compromise is to always generate both formats. Using maven-pmd-plugin v3.0.1. http://search.maven.org/#artifactdetails%7Corg.apache.maven.plugins%7Cmaven-pmd-plugin%7C3.0.1%7Cmaven-plugin -- Cheers, Andrew Pennebaker apenneba...@42six.com
