java - Installing PMD 5.0.4 in Eclipse

Question

Can anybody tell me how to install PMD in Eclipse. I have downloaded PMD 5.0.4 from the following link:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pmd/files/latest/download?source=files

When I add this archive file in Eclipse install option I am getting an error stating that "It could not find the file specified".

Answer 1

Just follow the directions on http://sourceforge.net/projects/pmd/files/pmd-eclipse/update-site/ I copied the direction here for you so you don't even have to click !!

In Eclipse, click on Help -> Install New Software...

Click on Add.. Enter the following:

Name: PMD for Eclipse Update Site

URL: https://sourceforge.net/projects/pmd/files/pmd-eclipse/update-site/

and click OK.

You should see PMD for Eclipse 4. Select the checkbox next to it and click Next >.

You'll need to accept the license and confirm you want to install a plugin that is not digitally signed. Go ahead and install it anyway.

Restart eclipse.
