Mike Perham commented on MPMD-33:
---------------------------------

PMD 3.7 needs to appear in the central repo before this patch can be processed.

> When PMD fails to find or successfuly process a file (e.g., throws NPE during processFile method) maven-pmd-plugin fails, which fails the site generation and the build. Instead of trying/having to configure the PMD plugin to either exclude specific files, or to skip execution altogether (in the case of a multi-module build), I think it may be better to include the error in the PMD report, but continue processing files.
> Attached is a patch against trunk that modifies the exception handling behavior to include PMD processing failures in the PMD report. The exceptions are also logged as WARNINGs.
> This patch also updates maven-pmd-plugin to use PMD 3.7.
> See http://www.nabble.com/-m2--NPE-with-maven-pmd-plugin-t1718122.html for some more background on the original problem related to PMD and Jva 5 Generics.
