maven-pmd-plugin should generate only one pmd.xml file
------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MPMD-80
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPMD-80
             Project: Maven 2.x PMD Plugin
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: PMD
    Affects Versions: 2.3
            Reporter: Ulli Hafner
            Priority: Minor


Currently the task mvn pmd:pmd generates two identical pmd.xml report files: 
one file is in target/pmd.xml, the other in target/site/pmd.xml. (findbugs and 
checkstyle just generate one file in the target folder).

These two identical files hinder the processing by warning visualizations tools 
(like the Hudson CI server pmd-plugin) that use these m2 generated files as 
input. Normally, in Hudson one can just specify the file pattern **/pmd.xml to 
obtain the available files to process. (Of course the user might change the 
default pattern to **/target/pmd.xml, but it would be much smarter if this 
would not be a requirement. And using **/target/pmd.xml as default is also no 
possibility, since ant has no target folder...)
