ruleset xml arguments

[Research-SE-Otago]

Will you be able to help me with defining the required arguments to new PMD version. The links by default seems old and URL s not working. I am using the rules appears on this new version (PMD https://pmd.github.io/latest/index.html), seems it is PMD 6.39.0. Could you please help me with the arguments that I should pass to below?

xmlns="http://pmd.sourceforge.net/ruleset/2.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://pmd.sourceforge.net/ruleset/2.0.0 http://pmd.sourceforge.net/ruleset_2_0_0.xsd">

Thanks very much !!

Which error do you get and which URL exactly is not working?

The URL: http://pmd.sourceforge.net/ruleset/2.0.0 . Should this be a working URL?

In brief , all I want to know is whether below schema and schema location refer to the updated PMD (i.e., 6.39.0) rule set.
xmlns="http://pmd.sourceforge.net/ruleset/2.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://pmd.sourceforge.net/ruleset/2.0.0 http://pmd.sourceforge.net/ruleset_2_0_0.xsd">

Sorry, I am new to this and have never used the tool.

No, "http://pmd.sourceforge.net/ruleset/2.0.0" is not a URL, it's just a URI. This is the namespace. The XML schema is located at http://pmd.sourceforge.net/ruleset_2_0_0.xsd (which redirects to https://pmd.sourceforge.io/ruleset_2_0_0.xsd).

updated PMD (i.e., 6.39.0) rule set

The above xml prolog only specifies the format (namespace, schema). There is no "updated PMD rule set".

You can start with the quickstart ruleset and modify this or create a new ruleset as described in Making rulesets.
It's your decision, which rules you enable. Available rules can be found here: https://pmd.github.io/latest/pmd_rules_java.html
