#  PMD X

A plugin for IntelliJ that provides code analysis and highlighting with PMD - an extensible cross-language static code analyzer.

## Features

* Optimized for real-time analysis and zero configuration project setups that just require you to checkout the code

* Real-time analysis and highlighting of currently edited file

* Run bulk analysis of files by right clicking the project menu 
  
 

* Currently Java and Kotlin are supported, Language versions are automatically detected

## Usage

1. Install the plugin and open a project

2. Configure PMD for the project (`Settings > Tools > PMD`) 


    * If there is already a project configuration file (`.idea/pmd-x.xml`) present this will be done automatically

3. Open a supported file

4. You should see the problems being automatically highlighted in the file and find more details in the PMD tool window
