Summary: Property CloseTargets not documented on PMD site

Initial Comment:
In PMD, for the rule CloseResource there is an "hidden" property (not documented) named closeTargets. It allow you to close a database connexion by using a database manager for exemple. If this property is not set, you can have a lot of false positive errors. 
see line 47 : http://pmd.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pmd/tags/pmd/pmd_release_4_2_4/src/net/sourceforge/pmd/rules/CloseResource.java?view=markup

It give all it power to this rule so I think it's important to document it.

Message:
Except that... that property doesn't completely work! Please see my
detailed description of this and 2 other bugs in CloseResource, in PMD bug#
1964798. I even provided the code for a fix (but I can not directly access
the PMD project code base for contributing to it). Unfortunately, 1964798
was closed for some reason -- I think it was just miscommunication. Which
is too bad, because I thought my fixes were pretty good (and important).
