PMD Apex Rules

[dieffrei]

Hi All,
I've installed your plugin and I can see PMD Java Rules, however I can not see "Apex" rules.
Am I'm missing something during installation?
Thank you in advance

Hi @dieffrei, that is right, currently, only standard Java rules are available.
With PMD7 this will be extended with Kotlin rules.
A separate plugin can be used for custom rules, we have an in-house solution for it which we plan to bring to open source.
We didn't plan to support other languages, yet. Is there a need for it?
We could look into it and see how much work it would be.

We are open to PR's to support other languages like Apex.

Hi @jborgers,
Actually, we have installed PMD plugin latest version 3.5.1 in sonarqube, but we are not seen any apex rules.
Can you please let me know which version for pmd plugin contained apex rules.
we need to install any other plugin for importing apex rules.
May i know the PR'S support meaning?

Thank you in advance

Hi @SrihariReddy19042002 ,
PR means Pull Request.
So, this way you can contribute the Apex rules.

Hi @dieffrei and @SrihariReddy19042002,

a preview release of the Apex PMD plugin is now available, there are still some questions to be resolved, see PR 548.

You can now download the Apex 4.2.0-SNAPSHOT release from the branch build and try it out. See download link in this build. There is a zip file that contains the sonar-pmd-apex-plugin-4.2.0-SNAPSHOT.jar that you can copy into the SonarQube downloads directory and restart SonarQube to load the plugin.

Does this work for you? Feedback appreciated.
