[jira] [Commented] (MPMD-296) Copy ruleset files into a subdirectory of target

["Andreas Dangel (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MPMD-296?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17018986#comment-17018986 ] 

Andreas Dangel commented on MPMD-296:
-------------------------------------

The new property is called {{rulesetsTargetDirectory}}. The default value is "{{${project.build.directory}/pmd/rulesets}}". In order to have the old behavior, it needs to be set to "{{${project.build.directory}}}".

> From MPMD-289:
> {quote}
> if we're copying ruleset files into the build dir & expecting very specific (and somewhat generic) file names in downstream processes, we should output everything into specific sub-directories under the maven build directory (e.g., target/pmd/report/pmd.xml, target/pmd/rulesets/pmd.xml)
> {quote}
> Note: This improvement will change existing behavior by default.
> Therefore a new parameter should be introduced to allow to change it back to the old behavior.
> Reason why this improvement makes sense: In case, your ruleset is called "pmd.xml", then this conflicts with the report format xml, which is written to "target/pmd.xml" as well. Therefore, the rulesets should be copied into "target/pmd/rulesets/..." instead of to "target/" directly.
