No Warnings are getting generated for maven-pmd-plugins

I am using maven-pmd-plugin, I have added this plugin in my parent pom, I have added some unused variable in my code but still it is not able to throw any warnings, everytime it is creating an empty report. Please let me know, If I am doing anything wrong.

I also faced problems with PMD. I created a started project (java-17, maven, pmd, unit tests, log4j2).

https://github.com/yan-khonski-it/java-17-pmd

I used phase validate and goal check.

<executions>
  <execution>
    <id>check pmd and fail</id>
    <phase>validate</phase>
    <goals>
      <goal>check</goal>
    </goals>
  </execution>
</executions>

If you use goal PMD, PMD will still run, but its results are not in the console, but in target/pmd.xml (if you configure maven plugin properly). However, in this case the build passes.
