To add [PMD|http://pmd.sourceforge.net] report, only need two steps:
# Generate PMD *XML* report from [Ant|http://ant.apache.org] or [Maven|http://maven.apache.org] or any other build tools.
# Publish PMD report in the [configuration|Working With Configuration].
h2. Generate PMD Report
QuickBuild will NOT generate [PMD|http://pmd.sourceforge.net] report automatically, so first make sure the PMD report is produced by [ANT|http://ant.apache.org] or by any other build tools, the following example shows how to generate PMD XML report by [PMD Ant task|http://pmd.sourceforge.net/ant-task.html]:
{code:xml|title= CheckStyle target in build.xml}
<taskdef name="pmd" classname="net.sourceforge.pmd.ant.PMDTask"/>
<target name="pmd">
<taskdef name="pmd" classname="net.sourceforge.pmd.ant.PMDTask"/>
<pmd rulesetfiles="imports.xml,unusedcode">
<formatter type="xml" toFile="c:\pmd_report.xml"/>
<fileset dir="C:\j2sdk1.4.1_01\src\java\lang\">
<include name="**/*.java"/>
</fileset>
</pmd>
</target>
{code}
After adding generate the XML report for your source code, you can tell QuickBuild to add those results now.
h2. Publish PMD Report
Just like all other [build reports|Publishing Build Reports], to add PMD report is by [adding a publish step|Working With Step] in a [configuration|Working With Configuration]. When you add publish PMD Report step, the following screen will be displayed:

In source report files field, QuickBuild use Ant style file patterns to collect the reports, and the directory you specified is *relative* to the [workspace|Workspace Directory] directory.
Now, QuickBuild will analyze the PMD report and will generate the Overview/Details after each build, and also will generate the statistics data for them.
