Error running flex PMD in Ant

[Roaders]

Hi Guys

I'm trying to get Flex PMD running in my ant build but am running into a few problems.

My task definition:

    <property name="flexpmd.version" value="1.0.RC5" />

    <property name="flexpmd.dir" value="${LIBS.dir}/flexpmd" />

<taskdef name="flexPmd"

classname="com.adobe.ac.pmd.ant.FlexPmdAntTask"

classpath="${flexpmd.dir}/flex-pmd-ant-task-${flexpmd.version}.jar"

>

        <classpath>

            <pathelement location="${flexpmd.dir}/flex-pmd-ruleset-api-${flexpmd.version}6.jar"/>

            <pathelement location="${flexpmd.dir}/flex-pmd-ruleset-${flexpmd.version}.jar"/>

            <pathelement location="${flexpmd.dir}/flex-pmd-core-${flexpmd.version}.jar"/>

            <pathelement location="${flexpmd.dir}/as3-plugin-utils-${flexpmd.version}.jar"/>

            <pathelement location="${flexpmd.dir}/as3-parser-${flexpmd.version}.jar"/>

            <pathelement location="${flexpmd.dir}/pmd-4.2.2.jar"/>

            <pathelement location="${flexpmd.dir}/commons-lang-2.4.jar"/>

            <pathelement location="${flexpmd.dir}/flex-pmd-files-${flexpmd.version}.jar"/>

            <pathelement location="${flexpmd.dir}/as3-parser-api-${flexpmd.version}.jar"/>

            <pathelement location="${flexpmd.dir}/plexus-utils-1.0.2.jar"/>

        </classpath>

</taskdef>

and my results:

C:\dev\workspaces\RTC\UUI_Core_ANT>ant -f buildLocalDebug.xml

The task def is ok as I don't get an error at the start, only when the task tries to run. I've had a look at the jars in the zip I downloaded and can't find the RuleSetFactory class anywhere.

I have just today downloaded the latest ant zip so must have the latest version. Any ideas?

Thanks

It looks like the pmd.4.2.5 jar is not in the source path...

That jar file was in the source path but my task def was looking for the wrong version. Unfortunately ANT doesn't tell you if it can't find the files you reference in the pathelement tags.

Updating the filename fixed it, thanks
