Description

I am trying to use a permalink from sonar with the pmd configuration from sonar as a rulest in the maven-pmd-plugin.

This is my maven configuration:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-pmd-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.0.1</version>
<configuration>
<rulesets>
<ruleset>http://my-tools.mycompany.com/sonar/profiles/export?format=pmd&amp;language=java&amp;name=MyProfile</ruleset>
</rulesets>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>pmd</id>
<goals><goal>check</goal></goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>

But i get the following error when i run "mvn clean install":
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-pmd-plugin:3.0.1:pmd (pmd) on project my-pmd:
An error has occurred in PMD Report report generation. Could not find resource 'rulesets/http://my/tools.mycompany.com/sonar/profiles.xml'. -> [Help 1]

I have tried to use the link from the sonar demo site:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-pmd-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.0.1</version>
<configuration>
<rulesets>
<ruleset>http://nemo.sonarqube.org/profiles/export?format=pmd&amp;language=java&amp;name=Nemo</ruleset>
</rulesets>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>pmd</id>
<goals><goal>check</goal></goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>

But then i get the following error:
[INFO] — maven-pmd-plugin:3.0.1:pmd (pmd) @ my-pmd —
[WARNING] Unable to locate Source XRef to link to - DISABLED
[WARNING] Failure executing PMD: Couldn't find the class White spaces are required between publicId and systemId.
