No default Rule Set
Submitted by James Miller on Tue, 2022-03-08 09:52
I was expecting some default rule sets. But the initial list of rule sets it ships with is completely empty. That's disappointing for new users.
Shouldn't the plugin come with some default rule sets?

Submitted by Deep Patel on Mon, 2020-04-27 17:43
I have added the plugin in my eclipse 2020-03. Enabled PMD for the project. Asking for selecting rule set.

Not Supporting Java 10 On Photon . . .
Submitted by Thomas Kirby on Sun, 2018-12-16 16:34
Can install current PMD version on Photon but it produces no output on running when the Photon Jvava is version 10.
Always behind the curve on code analysis is Eclipse . . .
Still Non-Functional On Photon / Java 10 At December 2018 . . .
Submitted by Thomas Kirby on Sun, 2018-12-16 16:22
Apparently, users applying Java 10 on Eclipse Photon will be able to install PMD current version 4.0.17 but it will not produce any analysis output after running it.
When oh when do starving Eclipse users get a real running code analyzer ?
Doesn't work in Eclipse Oxygen
Submitted by Ashutosh Sharma on Wed, 2018-02-07 20:25
It's getting enabled but not working as expected. Eclipse should check the plug-in before making it available officially. Doesn't work on Windows as well as Mac O/S with Java 8

On youtube search this video: "PMD Tool Demonstration - Eclipse Plugin"
Follow these steps and you will succeed ;)

Luna 4.4 + JDK8 fix
Submitted by Bob Fields on Wed, 2014-07-30 11:02
I ran into the same issue. See stackoverflow.com/questions/24880472/howto-use-pmd-plugin-in-eclpise-4-3-running-on-java-8/25039721#25039721. The fix (dated 7/22) is available from their build snapshot repository, will be in the next PMD plugin release.
Luna 4.4 + JDK8 fix
Submitted by Philip Graf on Sat, 2014-08-16 03:34
The PMD plugin mentioned in the Stackoverflow question (PMD plugin for Eclipse) is not the same as this one (eclipse-pmd). This plugin works well with JDK 8.
The eclipse-pmd website has instructions on how to configure eclipse-pmd.
Better than the original one
Submitted by Fabrice Daugan on Tue, 2013-12-17 05:01
This plugin woks well, the main reason I use it, is the enablement and the cache of rules are not linked to a workspace state as the other PMD plugin.
This ensure the whole team use the last rules definition.
