Ed Randall created MPMD-304:
-------------------------------
Summary: maven-pmd-plugin should be toolchains-aware
Key: MPMD-304
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MPMD-304
Project: Maven PMD Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 3.13.0
Environment: maven 3.6.3
JDK 1.8 (maven)
JDK 11 (toolchains.xml)
Reporter: Ed Randall
maven-pmd-plugin should be
[toolchains-aware|https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-using-toolchains.html]
and pick up the correct JDK used for compilation. If toolchains is in use, it
should select that one, not use the same JDK that maven is running.
We have an enterprise build system when maven runs under JDK 1.8. Some
projects target 1.8, others target 11. PMD cannot cope with 11 code when it's
running under 8. We are forced to set `typeResolution=false` to avoid all sorts
of strange errors (eg. 'unused private method' despite it being used 28 times
in the same class).
