How to report bugs

If you find something is not running as you expected and think it's a bug, please follow the following procedure.

The PMD Plugin has a logging facility based on Jakarta Log4J. The first thing is to switch the trace level to DEBUG : edit the log4j.xml file in the plugin directory and change the trace level for the logger "net.sourceforge.pmd". Delete also the pmd-eclipse.log file in the Eclipse directory to throw away old informations.

Restart Eclipse and try to reproduce the problems. Zip the log file and report the bug on sourceforge (you need to be logged in order to submit a bug). Don't forget to select the "pmd-eclipse" category. Attach the zipped log file to the request.

Thanks for your help !
