Description

For our project I have defined a custom ruleset for PMD in an XML file [1]. This ruleset defines properties for some of the standard PMD rules using this syntax:

<rule ref="rulesets/java/naming.xml/LongVariable">
    <properties>
        <property name="minimum" value="25"/>
    </properties>
</rule>

When I execute PMD using a parallel ant file we maintain, these custom properties are respected correctly. However, when executing PMD through maven, the properties are completely ignored.

The pom.xml we are using is available at [2].
