There are two main benefits: Find potential parsing errors (grammar
related) and find rule errors which gives us all more confidence.

Another GUI related project would be: Graphical Rule Set Builder
a) built in rules
b) set/configure properties
c) support custom rules
d) migrate old rulesets?
It would allow to simply create your own custom ruleset by selecting the
rules you want. Similar like the configuration of checkstyle within eclipse.

Would it make sense to have a project for Java 10? -> #743
<https://github.com/pmd/pmd/issues/743>


Since we have currently no rules for Java in the security category,
maybe something like
https://github.com/GDSSecurity/GDS-PMD-Security-Rules (Note: this is GPL
licensed...)


Oh, and something different: What do you think of using IRC (e.g.
http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=%23pmd&uio=MTY9dHJ1ZQ79), or
should we register for https://gitter.im ?
