AVAJAVA Web Tutorials

(Continued from page 1)

Now, let's look at the generated reports. The PMD Plugin generated the CPD and PMD reports. The JXR Plugin generated the Source Xref and Test Source Xref reports. The Javadoc Plugin generated the JavaDocs and Test JavaDocs reports. I'll focus on the CPD and PMD reports.

Here we can see the CPD report. According to the report, the Howdy.java and Howdy2.java files contain duplicate code. The report displays the line numbers of the duplications. The report is correct. I copy/pasted Howdy and renamed the class.

If I click the line numbers, I'm taking to the Xref document of the duplicated code.

Now, let's look at the PMD report. I put an unused local variable and an unused private method in my App class. The PMD Plugin found this issues and reported them here.

If I click a line number, I'm taken to the relevant line number in the Xref file for the JavaSW class.
