Report generated even when no input files present
-------------------------------------------------
Key: MPMD-73
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPMD-73
Project: Maven 2.x PMD Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.3
Reporter: Simon Kitching
Priority: Minor
Most maven report plugins will not generate a report if there are no input
files. For example, a pom that defines the javadoc report plugin but has no
source does not get a javadoc report.
However the pmd plugin generates empty pmd and cmd reports even for projects
that have no source. In particular this means that parent poms that want to
define pmd reports for the child modules get a "project reports" menu with
pointless pmd/cmd pages. Given that poms lack a "pluginManagement" pom section,
this is quite annoying.
