The eclipse-pmd configuration is now stored in the file .eclipse-pmd in the root of each project. This makes it easy to share an eclipse-pmd configuration across a development team by putting it in version control with the rest of the code. When someone from the team changes the configuration an puts it in version control, eclipse-pmd will automatically apply the changes when the other team members fetch the updated configuration from version control.
eclipse-pmd stored the configuration in the workspace of your Eclipse installation up to version 0.8. eclipse-pmd will convert the configuration automatically after you use eclipse-pmd the first time after updating to version 0.8.

Released: 28.12.2012
Eclipse repository: https://eclipse-pmd.acanda.ch/release/latest/0.1
eclipse-pmd provides quick fixes for a couple of PMD rules that can be fixed automatically. Quick fixes are available for the following rules: ExtendsObject, SuspiciousHashcodeMethodName, LocalVariableCouldBeFinal, MethodArgumentCouldBeFinal.
You can apply a quick fix to multiple violations of the same type at once if you use the context menu on a PMD problem in the Problems view and select the item "Quick Fix".
This feature lets you use multiple PMD ruleset configurations. Once a configuration is created it is available to all projects in the workspace and can be activated for each project individually.
Besides the PMD rule set configurations stored at an absolute path in the file system, eclipse-pmd also supports PMD rule set configurations stored relative to the workspace or project. The workspace type is used when you want to use the same PMD rule set configuration for several projects in the workspace. If you want to use a different PMD ruleset configuration for each project, you can use the project type. And as long as those PMD ruleset configurations are at the same place within the projects, you need to set up the configuration only once.
Besides Java, eclipse-pmd now also supports the additional languages that came with PMD 5.0. Supported are JavaScript, XML, XSL and JSP/JSF.
