------------------------------------

             Summary: CLONE - Warning about missing XRef for module with no source
                 Key: MPMD-185
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPMD-185
             Project: Maven PMD Plugin
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.0.1
            Reporter: Dennis Lundberg
            Assignee: Dennis Lundberg
             Fix For: 3.1


If you run pmd:pmd on a project that does not have any (java) sources - only resources, the following warning is issued:

[WARNING] Unable to locate Source XRef to link to - DISABLED

This warning can only be suppressed through configuration if we skip pmd for that particular project/module.

The warning is bogus though, because there are no sources that PMD will check, so there is no need to check for any XRef to start with.

It should be possible to delay checking for XRef until it has been determined that the sources actually exist. I'm working on a patch.

All of the above also applies to pmd:cpd.
