Description

To help debugging processing errors (or any error in PMD), maven should be able to output the processing errors with exception stacktraces.

Currently, only the number of the problematic files are displayed.

Furthermore, PMD usually adds the processing errors to the XML report. But the XML report that is generated with the maven pmd plugin doesn't contain the errors.
