PMD JEdit Plug-in Users' Guide

Installation

System requirements

PMD is a Java source code analyzer. The PMD JEdit Plugin requires at least JEdit 4.0final. Here's the PMD web site.

Installation

The Plugin comes as a single .zip file. Just unzip it into your JEdit directory and it'll put a couple of jar files into your jars directory, restart JEdit, and you'll be ready to go.

Integration

The software adds a new menu item group into the Plugins menu of the editor view. There's one new menu item:

• Plugins->PMD->Check active buffer (Ctrl-Shift-F11). Runs the currently displayed Java file through the PMD code checking rules and displays a pop up window with the results.

License

The JEdit Plug-in is free software, released under the Apache license.
