Hi petr,
Thanks for your help.

I have some problem petr. In my eclipse, there is no option like PMD is displaying for JSP and html application.
In the site you mentioned its given like from version PMD3.6,JSP and HTML rules are available.

But when i see the rules by clicking
windows--> preference--> PMD --> Rules configuration
,there is no rules for jsp and html.


How can i resolve this problem ?


Thanks in advance :):)

Did you read this topic? You need create new file, which consist of roles for jsp and html

Use one of the current rulesets as an example. Copy and paste it into your new file, delete all the old rules from it, and change the name and description. Like this:

Hi petr,

I have uploaded the rules in the PMD.But still have a problem..


Problem is for example when i do some simple java code,When i right click the file it displays one option called PMD..In that it shows check code with PMD.So i can check the coding standard for that particular file.

But if i do some jsp or html application there is no option called PMD displayed when i right click on the html or jsp file.So i don't know how to check the coding standard for that html and jsp file.

Can u pls check it and let me know?
