Gradle build task now also supports PMD analysis
Jul 29, 2016Jean-Marc Prieur

Summary
This post introduces support for PMD static analysis within the Gradle build task in Azure Pipelines. A new 'Run PMD Analysis' checkbox is added to the Gradle build task, instructing Gradle to perform PMD static analysis. The build summary will report the number of issues found, and detailed logs will be available in the build artifact tab. The default set of PMD rules (basic and bracing rules) will be used, with encouragement for users to specify other rules in their Gradle scripts. Existing PMD configurations will be respected.
