PMD multiple rulesets pass build but single ruleset fails build

I am using PMD maven plugin for my project and I am seeing very strange behavior in it. The following pom.xml configuration fails the build with violations in basic.xml -

<configuration>
    <rulesets>
        <ruleset>${project.basedir}\ruleset\basic.xml</ruleset>
        <!-- ruleset>${project.basedir}\ruleset\braces.xml</ruleset>
        <ruleset>${project.basedir}\ruleset\design.xml</ruleset>
        <ruleset>${project.basedir}\ruleset\controversial.xml</ruleset>
        <ruleset>${project.basedir}\ruleset\coupling.xml</ruleset>
        <ruleset>${project.basedir}\ruleset\clone.xml</ruleset>
        <ruleset>${project.basedir}\ruleset\comments.xml</ruleset-->
    </rulesets>
</configuration>

But the below one passes the build smoothly -

<configuration>
    <rulesets>
        <ruleset>${project.basedir}\ruleset\basic.xml</ruleset>
        <ruleset>${project.basedir}\ruleset\braces.xml</ruleset>
        <ruleset>${project.basedir}\ruleset\design.xml</ruleset>
        <ruleset>${project.basedir}\ruleset\controversial.xml</ruleset>
        <ruleset>${project.basedir}\ruleset\coupling.xml</ruleset>
        <ruleset>${project.basedir}\ruleset\clone.xml</ruleset>
        <ruleset>${project.basedir}\ruleset\comments.xml</ruleset>
    </rulesets>
</configuration>

The build should have failed in the second scenario also. As per what I have noticed, if the last rule (in above example comments.xml) does not have any code violation then the build will not break even if any of the rulesets above it (basic.xml, braces.xml, etc.) have code violations. I am unable to understand the reason behind this behavior. Can someone help me out with this?

I found the issue. There was an issue with Maven Plugin version 3.3 . Now I am using version 3.1 and the exact same code is working as expected.
