FlexPMD and TextMate setup question: Creating rules

I wanted to g开发者_运维技巧et some assistance into how to set up new rulesets for Textmate, as I can't find the pmd.xml file that needs to be modified.

Thanks in advance

I couldn't find a default pmd.xml file anywhere, so I just used the Adobe Flex PMD Ruleset creator and then exported the default set of rules.

[edited to add]

My project was running using ANT and Hudson so I just put it in the root of that.

However, to properly test this out using TextMate I copied my project to match the following documented conditions:

"The bundle is currently experimental, as such it expects the following:

• Source files to be in a saved TextMate project.
• ActionScript and MXML source files to be in a directory named 'src'"

I then copied my pmd config file into the project root, opened it, and ran the FlexPMD 'Project' option.

This gave the illusion of using my file, so I renamed the file and deleted all but one rule to prove it wasn't being used.

The TextMate FlexPMD bundle documentation mentions:

• To specify a custom ruleset specify it's path using the env var TM_FLEXPMD_RULESET.

So I rather than create a global variable which would affect all projects, I created a project dependent variable by:

The way to do this is currently a little secret but if you deselect everything in the project drawer, then click the info (circled I) button, a panel will appear where you can set variables.

So my variable was TM_FLEXPMD_RULESET with the value pmd_rules.xml

When I then ran the FlexPMD 'Project' option, only one rule was being run.
