Description

Sonar (http://www.sonarsource.org/) offers a way to centrally manage the PMD ruleset configuration and publish the specified configuration on a URL.

The url takes the following form:
http://nemo.sonarsource.org/profiles/export?format=pmd&language=java&name=Nemo%2520rules%2520with%2520findbugs

Plugin config:

<plugin>
	<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
	<artifactId>maven-pmd-plugin</artifactId>
	<version>2.5</version>
	<configuration>
		<linkXref>true</linkXref>
		<sourceEncoding>utf-8</sourceEncoding>
		<targetJdk>1.6</targetJdk>
		<rulesets>
			<ruleset>http://nemo.sonarsource.org/profiles/export?format=pmd&language=java&name=Nemo%2520rules%2520with%2520findbugs</ruleset>
		</rulesets>
	</configuration>
</plugin>

When generating a PMD report (as part of site:site) the plugin fails (on specified environment) with the following error:

[INFO] Generating "PMD Report" report.
