PMD Eclipse JDK兼容性

Question

I have installed version 3.2.6.v200903300643 of the PMD Plug-in for Eclipse (which is version 3.7.*).

When I try to run the Generate Abstract Syntax Tree, I get the following error

PMD Exception : net.sourceforge.pmd.ast.ParseException: Can't use static imports when running in JDK 1.4 mode

My question is: How can I configure which JDK compatibility mode PMD is running in when used through Eclipse ?

I can't find any configuration options for this in the properties overview.

Regards Esben

Most probably you need to configure the maven-pmd-plugin to use the correct targetJdk option value. It does not explicitly say if this option defaults to 1.4 , but it seems so.
