Description
Hi,
I don't know why but sometimes the PMD don't want to read the ruleset file and try to verify all rules.
The only way that i found to fix that is switching git branch to a branch with different .pmd and .ruleset.xml then come back to branch and it correcly read it again.
My ruleset.xml
<ruleset xmlns="http://pmd.sourceforge.net/ruleset/2.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
name="pmd-eclipse"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://pmd.sourceforge.net/ruleset/2.0.0 https://pmd.sourceforge.io/ruleset_2_0_0.xsd">

First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by reproducing the startup behavior in Eclipse with the reported .pmd and .ruleset.xml files, then compare it with the successful state after switching branches. Done means the plugin consistently loads the configured ruleset at startup and verifies only the rules it contains.
