Description

When executing the pmd:pmd goal on a JakartaEE based project several of the JakartaEE APIs can not be found in the PMD execution:

 

[INFO] — maven-pmd-plugin:3.13.0:pmd (default-cli) @ ermittlung ---
[WARNING] The project ermittlung-ear does not seem to be compiled. PMD results might be inaccurate.
[WARNING] Error during type resolution of field 'Logger' in class de.xx.MyClass due to: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/jms/Destination

I assume that the error is based on the scope of the JakartaEE dependency that is defined as "provided"
