> I work on a system that has a lot of legacy code with a lot of PMD/CPD
> violations. Introducing PMD to the build is not an easy option, since the
> build would always fail. So the next best thing is to exclude any existing
> violations and only fail if a new violation is introduced. Unfortunately, if
> I have thousands of violations, PMD doesn't provide a good way to do this.
> I'd have to add comments or annotations to all these places to ignore the
> violation.
> We came up with an alternative solution to this. We modified the PMD plugin
> to read a properties file that contains a mapping of class name to a list of
> excluded violations. If a particular violation is in this file, it does not
> cause the build to fail. Similar idea for CPD.
> An svn patch is attached (apply to 2.7.1)
> (Disclaimer: this is probably not the most elegant piece of code but it works
> and it was quick. Feel free to re-factor and make it more in line with the
> rest of the plugin code)
