To install, please refer to the extensions documentation.

To check all source code using the java quickstart rule, add the following to your build file

public void pmd() throws Exception {
    new PmdOperation()
        .fromProject(this)
        .execute();
}

./bld pmd test

To check the main source directory using a custom rule, java error prone rule and failing on any violation.

@BuildCommand
public void pmdMain() throws Exception {
    new PmdOperation()
            .fromProject(this)
            .failOnViolation(true)
            .inputPaths(this.srcMainDirectory().toPath())
            .ruleSets("config/pmd.xml", "category/java/errorprone.xml")
            .execute();
}

./bld compile pmdMain
