Hi all,

for some time on the project administration task list: automation of PMD=20
testing of CDK source code.

And, the results are online now... it needs tweaks, i.e. we still need to=20
define which tests we want to keep.=20

Details:

PMD is a tool that checks the source code for common errors, see:=20

http://pmd.sourceforge.net/

In CDK CVS, you'll find a pmd.xml next to the more common build.xml.
Run it with 'ant -f pmd.xml' and you'll get the same results as on this
webpage:

http://cdk.sourceforge.net/pmd.html

Currently these rule sets are applied:

rulesets/basic.xml, rulesets/naming.xml, rulesets/unusedcode.xml,=20
rulesets/imports.xml, rulesets/strings.xml, rulesets/codesize.xml

But these, additions, and specific settings should be discussed.
A full overview of available rule sets that come with PMD (more can be made=
,=20
and we actually could make a few CDK specific rules !), can be found
on the PMD website. For the above ruleset, links to those pages are given
on the CDK pmd webpage.

You'll notice that all modules, even the core module, don't show up empty=20
handed... so there is lot of work to be done to get a more clean, better=20
maintainable code base.
