From memory, the PMD plugin does not use the plugin classpath to find PMD (so
that you can easily change the version it uses), so adding it to the master
plugin's runtime dependencies isn't going to help here.
I would add the dependency in the master plugin, something like:
public void apply(Project project) {
project.configure {
apply plugin: 'pmd'
dependencies {
pmd group: 'pmd', name: 'pmd', version: '4.2.5'
}
}
}
