Adding custom java rule to pmd maven plugin -

i've wrote custom rule pmd (in java). want rule executed in project. i've added rule pmd.xml:

<rule name="myrule"       message="some message"       class="myrule">     <description>         description     </description>     <properties>         <property name="someproperty" value="1" />     </properties>     <priority>3</priority> </rule> 

and there problem appeared. didn't know place rule definition - myrule.class. trying add maven dependency pmd:

<dependency>     <groupid>pmd.rules</groupid>     <artifactid>customjavarules</artifactid>     <version>1.0</version> </dependency> 

where customjavarules jar artifact (from local "file://" repo) containing myrule.class. jar found , loaded myrule.class still invisible pmd.

i trying place class in various directories... poor results.

has ever had similar problem?

solved:

<dependency>     <groupid>pmd.rules</groupid>     <artifactid>customjavarules</artifactid>     <version>1.0</version>     <scope>system</scope>     <systempath>path/to/my/jar/customjavarules.jar</systempath> </dependency>
