Description
The description has been anonymized, but AFAIK, all important details remain. 
On the following code:
Line 155: return super.<SomeClass> someMethod(someArgument);
PMD reports the following problem:
[WARNING] Error while parsing xxx\MyClass.java: Encountered " "<" "< "" at line 155, column 22.
Was expecting:
<IDENTIFIER> ...
I tried the following:
1) Updated PMD maven plugin to 2.6 (I was using 2.5)
2) Verified that the targetJdk setting is taking effect (I get an error when setting it to "xxx")
3) I set the source encoding to UTF-8 (My default is Cp1252)
4) When changing line 155 to "return (Iterable<SomeClass>) super.someMethod(someArgument);", no error is reported
So it seems that Java 5 mode is enabled, but the particular syntax of parameterizing the method call on invocation is not supported.
This is valid syntax, the code is running in production.

Update to PMD 5.0.2

This problem does not occur when running the same check in Eclipse, which might suggest the problem is in the maven plugin (not sure).
I could try to provide a patch, but I'm not sure where to begin.
