> If a source file cannot be parsed by PMD, the error is reported as a "processing error" and continues with the next file.
> However, the maven plugin doesn't use this information. This leads to a situation, where project build is successful despite PMD violations - because PMD skipped files which it can't parse.
> This is not such a big problem if the files are compiled before (e.g. executing PMD in a phase later than compile) - as the compiler plugin would fail the build already.
> But if "pmd:pmd" or "pmd:check" is called directly, maven would not fail the build.
> See also https://sourceforge.net/p/pmd/mailman/message/34715839/
> I'll provide a PR for this bug.
