PMD Eclipse plugin

I have installed PMD for eclipse 3.8 in the debian successfully. However, I am following these (http://www.eclipsezone.com/articles/pmd/) instructions to test a simple check and I get not violation, warnings, errors, etc...despite that the plugin in enabled through Properties -> PMD. Am I missing something in the configuration ?

Unlike FindBug or CheckStyle, the PMD Eclipse plug-in does not configure which rules to check for by default. You have to manually check which rules to use by going to Eclipse Preferences -> PMD -> Rule Configuration

The normal problem here is that your problems view is not instrumented the right way. Do the following steps to correct it:

  1. Call the drop-down-menu enter image description here and select "Configure Contents..."
  2. Ensure that all items are shown, or that your selection includes the PMD errors enter image description here
  3. Accept your configuration change, and control, if the PMD infos, warnings, and errors are now visible.
