Why "Sonar Way with find bugs" has no PMD rule repository?

Question

I have setup SonarQube Ver 4.3.3 , but when i navigate to Quality Profile -> Sonar Way with find bugs -> Coding Rules -> Repository i do not see any PMD rule repository.

I can only see Common Sonar, FindBugs and Sonar Qube rule repositories.
Does it means that my SONAR is not is not checking PMD rules ?

Answer 1

You do not see any PMD rule repository because the java plugin reimplemented the PMD rules (not a 1 on 1 match). For more details, please read this.

Please note the sonar-pmd-plugin is still supported. I advice to install a more recent version of the java plugin.

If you specifically want to see the PMD rules, please install the PMD plugin
