Hi,

even if I got a lot of stuff working with FlexPMD, I was still having problems 
with the report-plugins for maven complaining about API incompatabilities. It 
seems that this is due to changes in the maven report and site plugin. I 
decided not to fix these problems, but so solve them by updating FlexPMD to PMD 
5.1.3 as well as the latest pmd maven plugin. After migrating almost everything 
to the new versions I am now blocked by one issue which i hope the PMD guys 
will answer soon.


In PMD 5.x a rule has to specify the language it is designed for. This allows 
to create mixed rule-sets. Unfortunately the supported languages are hard-coded 
into PMD (net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.Language?) and I currently see no way in 
which I could make FlexPMD extend this. Extending it in PMD itself sort of 
sounds problematic too, because I doubt they will add a language for which the 
implementation is outside of their project.


So I haven't dropped the ball ... I am just expecting to have a little stall on 
my work here.


Chris
