Normally you will want it as a dependency inside your plugin block (it is valid there) but there is a bug that doesn't allow this config in the reporting plugins block. In this case you need to use the extensions to make it work. You only need the xml file inside the jar, nothing inside the manifest. One of the IT tests shows exactly this case: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/maven/core-integration-testing/trunk/core-integration-tests/src/test/resources/it0111-pluginThatRequiresResourceFromAnExtension/ (it uses checkstyle instead of PMD, but it's exactly the same...in fact I have in the past used the same jar to hold checkstyle and pmd rules)

I have not yet determined why mine still does not work! I'm sure the support dir is at the top level of the jar (for support/rules-pmd.xml), but should check - is that true? (I also tried using and not using the leading slash for its package). Running with -X gives this: ...
