Built by Maven

pmd:aggregate-pmd-no-fork

Note:This goal should be used as a Maven report.

Full name:

org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-pmd-plugin:3.21.2:aggregate-pmd-no-fork

Description:

Creates a PMD site report in an aggregator project without forking the test-compile phase again.

Attributes:

  • Requires a Maven project to be executed.
  • Executes as an aggregator goal.
  • Requires dependency resolution of artifacts in scope: test.
  • The goal is thread-safe and supports parallel builds.
  • Since version: 3.15.0.

Required Parameters

Name Type Since Description
<targetDirectory> File - The output directory for the intermediate XML report.
User property is: project.build.directory.

Optional Parameters

Name Type Since Description
<aggregate> boolean 2.2 Deprecated. Whether to build an aggregated report at the root, or build individual reports.
Default value is: false.
User property is: aggregate.
<analysisCache> boolean 3.8 Enables the analysis cache, which speeds up PMD. This requires a cache file, that contains the results of the last PMD run. Thus the cache is only effective, if this file is not cleaned between runs.
Default value is: false.
User property is: pmd.analysisCache.
<analysisCacheLocation> String 3.8 The location of the analysis cache, if it is enabled. This file contains the results of the last PMD run and must not be cleaned between consecutive PMD runs. Otherwise the cache is not in use. If the file doesn't exist, PMD executes as if there is no cache enabled and all files are analyzed. Otherwise only changed files will be analyzed again.
Default value is: ${project.build.directory}/pmd/pmd.cache.
User property is: pmd.analysisCacheLocation.
<benchmark> boolean 3.1 Controls whether PMD will track benchmark information.
Default value is: false.

Default value is: ${project.compileSourceRoots}.

User property is: pmd.excludeFromFailureFile.
<excludeRoots> File[] 2.2 The project source directories that should be excluded.
<excludes> List<String> 2.2 A list of files to exclude from checking. Can contain Ant-style wildcards and double wildcards. Note that these exclusion patterns only operate on the path of a source file relative to its source root directory. In other words, files are excluded based on their package and/or class name. If you want to exclude entire source root directories, use the parameter excludeRoots instead.
<format> String - Set the output format type, in addition to the HTML report. Must be one of: "none", "csv", "xml", "txt" or the full class name of the PMD renderer to use. See the net.sourceforge.pmd.renderers package javadoc for available renderers. XML is produced in any case, since this format is needed for the check goals (pmd:check, pmd:aggregator-check, pmd:cpd-check, pmd:aggregator-cpd-check).
Default value is: xml.
User property is: format.
<includes> List<String> 2.2 A list of files to include from checking. Can contain Ant-style wildcards and double wildcards. Defaults to **\/*.java.
<includeTests> boolean 2.2 Run PMD on the tests.
Default value is: false.
<includeXmlInSite> boolean 3.0 Whether to include the xml files generated by PMD/CPD in the site.
Default value is: false.
<jdkToolchain> Map<String,String> 3.14.0

Allow for configuration of the jvm used to run PMD via maven toolchains. This permits a configuration where the project is built with one jvm and PMD is executed with another. This overrules the toolchain selected by the maven-toolchain-plugin.

<language> String 3.0 The programming language to be analyzed by PMD. Valid values are currently java, javascript and jsp.
