CommentRequired rule broken after annonymous inner classes

[SimonWeimann]

Hi,

we are using the latest eclipse-pmd plugin (0.9) with a pmd 5.1 ruleset. If we have an annnonymous inner class like the following code extract, :

/** {@inheritDoc} */
    @Override
    public List<String> getNamespaces() throws RuntimeException {
...
        new FileFilter() {
            /** {@inheritDoc} */
            @Override
            public boolean accept(FileName dir, String fileName) {
                return fileName.endsWith(PROPS_FILE_ENDING);
            }
        };
...
    }

the rule will be always marked as PMD Problem. Even subsequent methods in the class with valid javaDoc will be marked as PMD Problem.
Removing the annonymous inner class resolves this issue.

Looks like a Bug in the plugin.

Hi Simon,

there are two different tools involved here. There is PMD which checks the code and eclipse-pmd which marks the problems in the Eclipse editors.

This looks like an issue with PMD itself. Please open a bug report at the PMD bug tracker. Also let them know which rule caused the PMD problem.
