Answer 1

If you are new to the Eclipse IDE, it's better to know how to install the plugin for it:

1. Start the Eclipse IDE (screenshot from the Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers, version: Helios Service Release 2)

2. Select the Help –>Install New Software.... in the Eclipse menu item.

3. The install window will be open. On there, click the "Add.." button.

4. In the "Add Repository" window, enter the name and location (plugin URL)

   PMD plugin: http://pmd.sf.net/eclipse

   Then click the "OK" button.

5. Select PMD for Eclipse 3 and Apache Xerces in the "Select the features to install" list and click Next. Accept the terms of the license agreements and click Next.

6. Verify that the install location in Eclipse installation directory, otherwise select the correct one, then click Finish.

Answer 2

Unable to read repository problem can come because of your internet connection or proxy.

Check if eclipse update is working. As per your screenshots you are doing fine. Also double check your PMD url by opening it in browser.
