> Execute PMD Static code analyzer on source code. It will help you find common programming flaws like unused variables, empty catch blocks, unnecessary

Execute PMD Static code analyzer on source code. It will help you find common programming flaws like unused variables, empty catch blocks, unnecessary object creation, and many more.  This operation can be executed after the build or before deployment on the artifact. You can provide a rule file to control what to check or use the default rule file.

> This operation will install PMD for you if you like. Otherwise, you can download other versions from [https://sourceforge.net/projects/pmd/files/pmd/](https://sourceforge.net/projects/pmd/files/pmd/).
