How does <example> field get populated in the results (pmd.xml) file ?

How does the <example> element in the rulepack file, get populated in the pmd.xml file ?

Hi,

The example field does not get populated and won't be for two reasons:

- The Xpmd products don't do it and we want to keep the same XML schema than the others so that FlexPMD reports remain compatible with third party tools (like the PMD Hudson plugin, and XSL script)

- That would have a high impact on the report size. Imagine that you have 2000+ violations in your report...

That being said, it will be possible to retrieve the example section from the Flash Builder plugin in the outline view.

Best regards,

Xavier
