Description

Once PMD 6.0.0/6.0.1 is released, we should upgrade to it.

Changes:

• Small API change in RuleSetFactory (uses now a ResourceLoader instead of a ClassLoader directly)
• RuleSets have been reorganized into categories
  • we need to adjust the default values for rulesets
  • either PMD provides a default getting started ruleset or the maven plugin should provide it
