Compiling PMD
- JDK 11 or higher
Note: While Java 11 is required for building, running PMD only requires Java 7
(or Java 8 for Apex, JavaScript, Scala, Visualforce, and the Designer).
You’ll need to either check out the source code or download the latest source release. Assuming you’ve got the latest source release, unzip it to a directory:
[tom@hal building]$ ls -l
total 5716
-rw-rw-r-- 1 tom tom 5837216 Jul 17 13:09 pmd-src-7.8.0.zip
[tom@hal building]$ unzip -q pmd-src-7.8.0.zip
[tom@hal building]$
Now cd down into the pmd
directory:
[tom@hal building]$ cd pmd-src-7.8.0
[tom@hal pmd-src-7.8.0]$ ls -l | grep pom.xml
-rw-rw-r-- 1 tom tom 36482 14\. Nov 17:36 pom.xml
[tom@hal pmd-src-7.8.0]$
That’s the project configuration for maven… let’s compile!
[tom@hal pmd-src-7.8.0]$ ./mvnw clean verify

Now the source and binary distribution zip files can be found in the folder pmd-dist/target
.
Notes:
- The rules that have already been written are specified in the
src/main/resources/category/
directories of the specific languages, e.g.pmd-java/src/main/resources/category
. They’re also in the jar file that’s included with both the source and binary distributions.
