Eclipse-pmd vs pmd eclipse-plugin
PMD is a static code analyzer that checks your source for problematic code constructs, design patterns, and code style.
The code smells reported on grown projects might be huge at first, but PMD allows to customize its rules and to adapt them to your needs.
Step 1: Add PMD support to Eclipse
I am using eclipse-pmd which can be installed from the Eclipse Marketplace.
Step 2: Define a ruleset
PMD needs a ruleset to run against.
It is stored as an xml file and can be global, workspace specific or project specific. The choice is up to you. For eclipse projects I typically have a "releng" project to host all my configuration files.
A default ruleset looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <ruleset name="Custom Rules" xmlns="http://pmd.sourceforge.net/ruleset/2.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://pmd.sourceforge.net/ruleset/2.0.0 https://pmd.sourceforge.io/ruleset_2_0_0.xsd"> <description>custom ruleset</description> <rule ref="category/java/bestpractices.xml" /> <rule ref="category/jav- pmd tutorial eclipse
