Introduction

Features

• Automatically runs PMD on the Java files of your current task scope (selected in the Tasks window).
• Not based on a specific version of PMD: PMD is detected and executed at runtime, via reflection.
• Reports every PMD violation in the Tasks window and in the editor's side bar.
• Fully customizable: the options tab will enable you to setup:
  • The directory containing your copy of PMD
  • The rulesets used by PMD
  • The additional classpath, required if you want to use custom rules or rulesets
  • The target Java version
  • The source encoding
  • The "exclude marker"
  • Reporting options: which elements should be shown, and whether to show an annotation next to each violation line
  • Whether to scan guarded sections (for example, generated GUI code)
• Online help, integrated into the NetBeans help system.
