#1341 pmd:GuardDebugLogging violates LOGGER.debug with format "{}"

[Stefan Cordes]

Since 5.1.1 (Sonar PMD Plugin 2.2) the pmd:GuardDebugLogging violates statements like
LOGGER.debug("MessageSelector={}" , tempSelector);
which are valid as logback/slf4j does not evaluate the .toString() method.

Maybe this is fixed with https://sourceforge.net/p/pmd/bugs/1227/ ?

This is actually fixed with PMD 5.1.2 - this problem has been reported previously as bug [#1224].

The violation in this case doesn't make sense, as there is no string concatenating ongoing - so no guard is needed.
