-----------------------------------

             Summary: Create a real aggregate goal
                 Key: MPMD-283
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MPMD-283
             Project: Maven PMD Plugin
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: CPD, PMD
            Reporter: Andreas Dangel


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).

 
{code:java}
@Mojo( name = "aggregate", aggregator = true, requiresDependencyResolution = 
ResolutionScope.TEST )
@Execute( phase = LifecyclePhase.COMPILE )
public class AggregatorPMDReport {
...{code}
