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...)
