Adam, thanks. Your code didn't work exactly for me, but it was more than
enough to get me in the right direction. This appears to have done the
trick:
def void apply(Project project) {
project.plugins.apply(PMDPlugin)
project.dependencies {
pmd 'pmd:pmd:4.2.5'
}
...
}
I really appreciate your response.
