Custom PMD Rule that a method should have try catch block statements

[Divya Amilineni]

Hi,

I am new to PMD. I tried XPATH Expression to generate XML. Below is the XML

<rule message="User Try Catch Statements" name="MethodShouldContainTryCatch" language="apex" class="net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.rule.XPathRule">
<description>
Use try Catch Statements in Every Method
</description>
<priority>3</priority>
<properties>
<property name="version" value="1.0 compatibility">
<property name="xpath">
<value>
<![CDATA
//ClassOrInterfaceBodyDeclaration//MethodDeclaration[count(..//TryStatement)<1 and count(..//CatchStatement)<1
]]>
</value>
</property>
</property></properties>
</rule>
I have added the above rule in rule set other rules are working fine except this rule.
and below is the Expression

//ClassOrInterfaceBodyDeclaration//MethodDeclaration[count(..//TryStatement)<1]

Can you please help me?

Thank you!
