How to add PMD to maven ?

[comp.lang.java.programmer]

Anyone generated reports using PMD?
If you did, then pl. give me the steps/ examples to add PMD plugin to
maven.

I couldn't find proper documentation from web. Any sample pom.xml will
help.

I'd suggest that you might get a better and faster response, if you posted
your query to the SourceForge forums for PMD. They're at
<http://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=56262>.

Cheers!

Thanks for the info. I posted my question there.

I added the PMD to maven.

Here is the entry I added to pom.xml

<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-pmd-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>

I am getting the following error while running the script.

[INFO] Scanning for projects...
[INFO] Searching repository for plugin with prefix: 'pmd'.

it means that your default repository does not have this artifact. Maybe
you have to specify repository location explicitly.

At this location:

http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-pmd-plugin/

there are few versions.

Pick one of them. In your pom.xml file you can add

<repositories>
<repository>
<id>central1</id>
<name>Central Repository 1</name>
<url>http://repo1.maven.org/maven2</url>
</repository>
</repositories>

or some other location.

Alexander.
