# Class PmdPlugin

java.lang.Object
org.gradle.api.plugins.quality.internal.AbstractCodeQualityPlugin<Pmd>
org.gradle.api.plugins.quality.PmdPlugin

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Plugin<org.gradle.api.internal.project.ProjectInternal>`

public abstract class PmdPlugin extends org.gradle.api.plugins.quality.internal.AbstractCodeQualityPlugin<Pmd>
A plugin for the PMD source code analyzer.

Declares a `pmd` configuration which needs to be configured with the PMD library to be used.

Declares a `pmdAux` configuration to add transitive compileOnly dependencies to the PMD's auxclasspath. This is only needed if PMD complains about NoClassDefFoundError during type resolution.

For each source set that is to be analyzed, a `Pmd` task is created and configured to analyze all Java code.

All PMD tasks (including user-defined ones) are added to the `check` lifecycle task.

  1.0
