Introduction

Features

• Automatically runs PMD on the Java files of your current task scope (selected in the Tasks window).
• Reports every PMD violation in the Tasks window and in the editor's side bar.
• Includes a copy of PMD, for a safer and much faster execution. This also makes the plugin much easier to configure.
• Robustness: most execution errors, should they occur, are caught and reported in the Tasks list, without crashing the plugin.
• Integrated cache: to ensure maximum speed and avoid repeated scans, EasyPmd now features a cache which is also persisted to disk, so it is available even after you restart NetBeans.
• You can fully customize EasyPmd and the underlying PMD engine.
• The Options dialog has been fully redesigned and made more user-friendly. In particular, adding standard rulesets and choosing JAR files is now really easy thanks to dedicated dialogs.
• Fully-refactored, much better and faster architecture.
• Online help, integrated into the NetBeans help system.

This product includes software developed in part by support from the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA).
