java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: net/sf/saxon/trans/XPathException about eclipse-pmd HOT 4 CLOSED

Thanks for reporting the issue. Version 1.1 of eclipse-pmd is indeed missing a dependency (saxon). I'll release a new version by the end of the week.

The problem is triggered by either of the following two rules:

    <rule ref="rulesets/java/controversial.xml/OneDeclarationPerLine" />
    <rule ref="rulesets/java/controversial.xml/AvoidLiteralsInIfCondition" />

You can disable them as a temporary workaround until I release the new version.

I released version 1.1.1 which fixes this problem. All you need to do is update eclipse-pmd.

Verified. Thanks! Unfortunately http://sourceforge.net/p/pmd/bugs/1230/ and http://sourceforge.net/p/pmd/bugs/1234/ are giving me hundreds of false positives. Here's looking forward to 5.1.3.

I'm eagerly awaiting PMD 5.1.3 as well.

If PMD 5.1.2 is too buggy for you, you can go back to eclipse-pmd 1.0.2 which uses PMD 5.1.1 by executing the following steps in Eclipse:

• uninstall the current eclipse-pmd plug-in
• disable the update site http://www.acanda.ch/eclipse-pmd/release/latest
• add the update site http://www.acanda.ch/eclipse-pmd/release/1.0
• install eclipse-pmd 1.0.2

Please note that you won't get any updates with the update site http://www.acanda.ch/eclipse-pmd/release/latest disabled! However, I'll announce updates on Twitter. If you follow @eclipsepmd you'll be notified as soon as a new release is available.
