FAQs

 * The PMD report takes a long time to generate.  Is there any way to skip the PMD or CPD reports temporarily?

 Yes, each report supports a skip parameter which you can pass on the command line, <<<-Dmaven.pmd.skip=true>>> and
 <<<-Dmaven.cpd.skip=true>>> respectively.

 * I want to generate one of the reports but not the other.  How can I permanently skip PMD or CPD?

 Use the <<<\<reportSets\>>>> feature within your POM.  Below is the default configuration for the plugin.  To disable
 one of the reports, just add the <<<\<reportSets\>>>> below to your POM and remove the report you don't want to generate.
