Hi a few days ago Compress' pom was changed to use the newest PMD plugin version 3.2, this one depends on PMD 5.1.2. When I built the site locally it claimed to find about ten instances of "unused private functions" - all of them false positives.
Since the changelog of PMD 5.1.3 [1] lists at least three bugs about this rule I upgraded the plugin to use it[2]. Unfortunately I still have two false positives left. The latest release of PMD is 5.2.0 but they've changed to maven coordinates so I think there is no way to make the plugin use the newer PMD to see whether it fixes anything - AFAIK I cannot exclude direct dependencies of plugins in order to remove the original dependency. Compress is now left with either ignoring the warnings or going back to version 2.5.5 of the PMD plugin - unless anybody sees a different way. This mail is in part a warning against version 3.2 of the plugin and in part asking for help in case I am missing something.
