PMD-JEdit Plug-in Users' Guide

PMD is a Java source code analyzer - it finds unused variables, questionable design decisions, empty catch blocks, and so forth. You can read much more about PMD here - http://pmd.sf.net/.

Installation

• Uninstall any old PMD-JEdit plugins
• Unzip the PMD-JEdit-bin-0.5.zip file into your JEdit directory; it'll put a couple of jar files into your jars directory.
• Restart JEdit and you'll be ready to go.

Integration

There's a new 'PMD' menu item in the Plugins menu. This checks your currently displayed Java code and puts the results in the ErrorList.

There's also a new section in the Global Options configuration panel that lets you pick rule sets.

License

The PMD-JEdit plugin is free software released under the Apache license.
