  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-pmd-plugin</artifactId>

            <configuration>
              <excludeFromFailureFile>exclude-pmd.properties</excludeFromFailureFile>

For cpd check, you can exclude classes to not verify. The properties file must have the following format:

org.apache.maven.ClassA,org.apache.maven.ClassB

For pmd check, you can exclude rules per classes. The properties file must have the following format:

org.apache.maven.ClassA=UnusedPrivateField,EmptyCatchBlock
org.apache.maven.ClassB=UnusedPrivateField,UnusedFormalParameter,UnusedPrivateMethod
