Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java Developers Version: 2022-06 (4.24.0) Build id: 20220609-1112
pmd-eclipse-plugin version: 4.40.0.v20221029-0812-r

The following line in Java code causing ERROR n.s.p.e.runtime.cmd.BaseVisitor - Runtime exception visiting and net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.ParseException

${CLASS:emxContextUtil}.mqlNotice(context, returnMessage);

In my java code i had used ${ at many places due to this I am getting run time exception

pmd-eclipse.log:

@adangel how to resolve this "${" run time exception?

Start with pmd-eclipse.log and the JavaParser failure at line 11848, then reproduce the ${ case using the reported PMD Eclipse Plugin and Eclipse versions. Determine whether the input is valid Java and whether PMD should provide a clearer parsing result; done means the reported case is handled or its required source correction is documented.
