You should take these with a big grain of salt. A default configuration of PMD would probably show about the same amount of 'issues', but a lot of these are either personal style (e.g. number of 'duplicated strings' which does not work well when logging is used heavily) , or have to be analyzed manually (such as the 'missing break' which might or might not be intentional). As it is, I'm quite satisified with the code style-wise (not to mention that DdlUtils has a configured Checkstyle process which works nicely), so I'd rather not start with this. Once the 1.0 is out, I probably configure PMD in order to enhance the code review process, but currently IMO it would be way more beneficial to finish the 1.0 which only misses the revised alteration algorithm that I'm currently working on, and a few of the issues that make sense for the 1.0. cheers, Tom
