Description

The maven plugin does not allow setting the language level (1.3, 1.4 or 1.5) for PMD. This can be easily fixed by using 'targetjdk' property in the plugin script:

Original plugin.jelly (version 1.7):

<j:choose>
<j:when test="$

{sourcesPresent == 'true'}">
<pmd rulesetfiles="${maven.pmd.rulesetfiles}">
<formatter type="xml" toFile="${maven.build.dir}/pmd-raw-report.xml"/>
<fileset dir="${pom.build.sourceDirectory}"

Change:

<j:choose>
<j:when test="${sourcesPresent == 'true'}

">
<pmd rulesetfiles="$

{maven.pmd.rulesetfiles}

" targetjdk="$

{maven.pmd.targetjdk}

>
<formatter type="xml" toFile="$

{maven.build.dir}

/pmd-raw-report.xml"/>
<fileset dir="$

{pom.build.sourceDirectory}

"

By default 'maven.pmd.targetjdk' can be equal to 'maven.compile.source'

This fix causes the PMD report to fail if maven.compile.source is set to '1.2' with the following message:

Caused by: The targetjdk attribute, if used, must be set to either '1.3', '1.4', '1.5', '1.6' or 'jsp'

at org.apache.commons.jelly.impl.TagScript.run(TagScript.java:250)

The workaround is to either use the previous version of the plugin or to set

maven.pmd.targetjdk=1.3
