#2 Cant run PMD Analisis on Java sources

[RSE]

Hi,

I was looking for an alternative for the over budget static code analizers and foud about PMD. But i found that PMD by itself is not really easy to use, and got to analyze file by file.

Giving a second try on my research a found about yasca, something easier to use, capable of running PMD analysis and able to scan folders with multiple source files.

I want to make it work on a Windows XP computer. i downloaded it and extract it to "C:\Yasca\" folder.

After that, i copied all the files i wanted to review (.java files) to the "C:\Files\" Folder

Then, i uncompressed yasca-2.1-pmd.zip pluggin to the "C:\pmd" folder

With those components installed i set the SA_HOME to the "C:\pmd" folder

The next step i executed the following command:

yasca -sa_home C:\PMD c:\Files\WebServiceProject\

And i received the following answer:

Yasca 2.1 - http://www.yasca.org/ - Michael V. Scovetta
Commercial support is now available for Yasca. Contact scovetta@users.sourceforg

The report just finds "Code Correctness", "Unknown, Non-Standard, or Obsolete Library Used" and "Arbitrary File Disclosure (potential)" warnings/violations, only 10, when i tried PMD with the basic rules with the optimal advisor tool htye foud abour 200 violations, so im guessing PMD rules are not being checked, and i tried to research about it, but i havent found anything yet.

I already have installed java installed, when i enter the following command i get this response:

C:\yasca>java -version
java version "1.6.0_20"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_20-b02)

Can u help to to figure out what i need or what im doing wrong?
