Description

having this project structure:
pom.xml[type=pom, defines the pmd plugin in the reporting section]
modules/part1/pom.xml[type=jar]
modules/part2/pom.xml[type=jar]

running "mvn site" on the parent project generates all reports on the parent target/site/ folder (Project License, CheckStyle, FindBugs, ...), except PMD and CPD, which get generated in the two modules target/site/ dirs, and thus do not show up in the main report.
tested with maven PMD plugin versions 2.6 and 2.7.

if more info is needed, or testing, tell me please.
i attached a a zip file with a quite minimal test project.
The zip contains a folder TestProject with the above structure inside. try running "mvn site" in folder TestProject, and have a loot at:
target/site/
modules/part1/target/site/
modules/part2/target/site/

This is the expected behavior. The PMD Plugin by default does not create an aggregated report for a multi-module build. You need to configure that yourself, by setting the "aggregate" parameter to true.

i see, thanks!
but... if all other plugins do aggregate (by default, or always), why does the PMD plugin not do this too? it is quite unintuitive and .. the way i currently see it, also a wrong/bad choice. i'd be glad to be enlightend though, if there is a good reason for it.

Plugins handle aggregated reports differently. The old way, which maven-pmd-plugin uses, has an aggregate parameter. The new way has two different reports - one aggregated and one non-aggregated. Hopefully we can converge all plugins so that they all work in the same way, but that will take some time...
