Description

Hi Everybody,
I would like to know How I can export my PMD PLUGIN RULES CONFIGURATION on several computers.
Let's assume that we have 3 PC computers with exactly the same JVM, the same version of Eclipse, the same version of PMD plugins, ...

Attached file shows what I call PMD PLUGIN RULES CONFIGURATION :
Configuration_des_Regles_PMD

Some rules are activated, others aren't, ...

I would like to find a mean for having exactly the same rules activated in Eclipse on the other computers.

I tried to figure it out by using the button "export the ruleset" :
export_ruleset

But I never could import that ruleset in another ECLIPSE and having the same PMD PLUGIN RULES CONFIGURATION.

does anybody have an idea please ?

Best regards
Daniel

Research direction

Start with the PMD Eclipse plugin's rules configuration and the "export the ruleset" control described in the issue. Trace how exported rulesets are imported in another Eclipse installation, and consider the work complete when the enabled and disabled PMD rules can be transferred consistently between installations.
