Description Christian Lenz 2014-07-04 09:06:27 UTC

To get more quality after using JSLint, it would be nice if we can have the same functionality, native inside PMD. I researched and I found out, that I can add rulesets to this plugin. I found rulesets for ecmascript and wanted to added but I got the NotSupportedException for add. After restart it works and when I remove the ruleset I got the NotSupportedException for remove.

After run I got this exception:

Other exception happens, if I focused a file and say Run PMD, I think its not possible atm to run the PMD analyser for a single file or:
