             Summary: Cannot use two ruleset files with same name in different 
directories
                 Key: MPMD-371
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MPMD-371
             Project: Maven PMD Plugin
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: PMD
    Affects Versions: 3.20.0
            Reporter: Bruno Harbulot


It is not possible to rely on two ruleset files that share the same filename 
(but are located in different directories).

Here is an sample configuration for a multi-module project where there is a 
common {{pmd-ruleset.xml}} file in the parent project and a {{pmd-ruleset.xml}} 
file in each sub-module. (This is not limited to multi-module projects, it 
could be any configuration where the same filename is used in different 
directories.)

 
{code:java}
<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-pmd-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>${pmd-maven-plugin.version}</version>
    <configuration>
        <rulesets>
            <ruleset>${project.basedir}/pmd-ruleset.xml</ruleset>
            <ruleset>${project-root.basedir}/pmd-ruleset.xml</ruleset>
        </rulesets>
    </configuration>
</plugin>{code}
 

The files specified in the {{<ruleset />}} elements are copied into 
{{{}${project.build.directory}/pmd/rulesets{}}}, but only the actual filename 
is taken into account during the copy, so the second copy overwrites the first.

This seems to be due to the implementation of 
{{PmdReport.resolveRulesets(...)}} and {{PmdReport.getLocationTemp(...)}}
