Taras Pushyk reopened MPMD-158:
-------------------------------
Hi Denis!
Yes, I agree that this is expected behavior for Maven (resolving resources from
a module level). But it is unexpected behavior for Maven PMD Plugin, it looks
like it works inefficiently and tries to re-read configurations for every
sub-module.
Let me explain my idea: we have aggregator parent project with many child
sub-modules. Additionally it is a holder for PMD configuration files. So, I
want to benefit from such Maven feature as plugin inheritance which should
allow me to define/configure PMD plug-in at parent project level but to execute
it for all child sub-modules. What could you recommend in my situation? And I
don't want to duplicate PMD configuraion files for all child sub-mudules where
PMD report is needed.
Currently we are using workaround with PMD configuration location set with an
URL to configuration files our CI server which is not a good solution.
Btw, same thing (relative configuration file reference) works perfectly for
Maven Checkstyle plug-in...
Thanks for your support
