    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPMD-62?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_106532 ] 

Marat Radchenko commented on MPMD-62:
-------------------------------------

Some additions:

This behavior can be disabled by default for backward-compatibility.

And <consoleOutput>true</consoleOutput> attribute should be added to enable this behavior.

> It would be wonderful if maven-pmd-plugin printed error details to stderr when pmd:check or pmd:cpd-check fails.
> This way it would be consistent with maven-checkstyle-plugin and maybe some others.
> Currentry we are having usability troubles when pmd:check fails on CI server because we cannot see errors in build log.
