Bram commented on MPMD-86:
--------------------------

Same here, I've configured the PMD plugin with:
<reporting>
  <plugins>
....
			<plugin>
				<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
				<artifactId>maven-pmd-plugin</artifactId>
				<configuration>
					<targetjdk>1.6</targetjdk>
					<rulesets>
						<ruleset>/rulesets/basic.xml</ruleset>
						<ruleset>/rulesets/controversial.xml</ruleset>
					</rulesets>
					<format>xml</format>
					<linkXref>true</linkXref>
					<sourceEncoding>utf-8</sourceEncoding>
					<minimumTokens>100</minimumTokens>
				</configuration>
			</plugin>

And my source builds towards JDK 1.6:
	<build>
		<plugins>
			<plugin>
				<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
				<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
				<configuration>
					<source>1.6</source>
					<target>1.6</target>
				</configuration>
			</plugin>
		</plugins>
	</build>

With that, I get a lot of warnings on non-1.4 issues like annotations and generics.
After configuring the following project property, these warnings disappeared:

<project>
...
	<properties>
		<targetJdk>1.6</targetJdk>
	</properties>
