Maven : Configuration ruleSet

Hi everyone

I faced with the same problem.

My FlexPmd.xml file is part of another project (myxxx-build-tools).

Project that I'm trying to launch has dependecy to the project with FlexPmd.xml:

<dependency>

            <groupId>com.xxx.xx</groupId>

            <artifactId>myxxx-build-tools</artifactId>

            <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>

        </dependency>

Also from tutorial I put:

<reporting>

        <plugins>

            <plugin>

                <groupId>com.adobe.ac</groupId>

                <artifactId>flex-pmd-maven-plugin</artifactId>

                <version>1.0.RC5</version>

                <configuration>

                    <ruleSet>myxxx-build-tools/FlexPmd.xml</ruleSet>

                </configuration>

                <reportSets>

                </reportSets>

            </plugin>

        </plugins>

    </reporting>

When I'm trying to run mvn site plugin can't resolve path to my custom ruleset.

What I'm doing wrong, or could anyone give me some example of pom.xml files when custom ruleset belong to another project.

Thanks.

Hi Xavier,

Here is the log of the error encountered:

FlexPMD is trying to search the ruleSet configuration file flexpmd.xml in the wrong directory.

I'm using a relative path for the location of the ruleSet file by incorporing this file in a project build-tools (which is specified in the parent pom of my project as an extension). Itworks with my other quality tools (checkstyle, pmd java, etc.).

I tried to change the relative path by an absolute path and it works fine (but it is not what I really want).

            <plugin>
                <groupId>com.adobe.ac</groupId>
                <artifactId>flex-pmd-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>1.0.RC4</version>
                <configuration>
                    <ruleSet>E:/pmd_all_rules.xml</ruleSet>       
                </configuration>
            </plugin>

Thanks for your reply
