> PMD needs to have the project compiled, before it can analyze it. This is required to support typeresolution.
> For Multi-modules projects, you can currently set the "aggregate" parameter, to create an aggregated report. However, this is executed at the root project _before_ all other modules have been built, leading to a potentially inaccurate PMD result and false positives.
> A separate goal should be introduced, that can execute the compile lifecycle prior to executing PMD (similar what javadoc:aggregate does).
