#1038 CPD Webstart link is broken / CPD Webstart is missing completely

[Dale King]

Website link for starting CPD via WebStart on the http://pmd.sourceforge.net/cpd.html page is broken. Link goes to http://pmd.sourceforge.net/cpd.html#cpd.jnlp instead of http://pmd.sourceforge.net/cpd.jnlp

[Andreas Dangel]

The old cpd.html file was still laying around. I removed it.

The fixed version is here: http://pmd.sourceforge.net/pmd-5.0.0/cpd.html
It's also fixed for the latest snapshot: http://pmd.sourceforge.net/snapshot/cpd-usage.html

In addition, the original issue of a broken CPD WebStart link is not fixed.
The new page has a link for starting via WebStart that is a 404.

You have now created a bunch of broken links around the web that pointed to
the old page. E.g. google search for PMD CPD or see the Maven plugin page
for CPD. You should at least do a redirect or put up a page at the old
location that points you to the new page.

Hi Dale King,

thanks for being so tenacious on this issue :)

I've added now a redirect. But hopefully all the other sites will update their links anyway at some point. That's basically the risk of deep linking to a site, you don't control - the site can simply change and links are broken.

However, as you have seen, next problem was that cpd.jnlp was missing. So, it turns out that this file has been handcrafted and is not at all in our build process included (not even in our source repository). This was done the last time for pmd 4.2.5 - so it's missing for pmd 5.

I'll keep this issue open, so that we can fix it for the next version.

Thanks again,
Andreas

It turns out that it was in the 4.3 branch, but never made it to pmd 5.
