Unfortunately, you didn't give much context of what you are trying to do.

Since you are missing somehow the class "JavaTokenKinds", I assume, you are trying to compile pmd 7? (branch pmd/7.0.x).

Regardless of the version of PMD, the basic approach of how to build still holds true: See https://github.com/pmd/pmd/blob/master/BUILDING.md
See also https://github.com/pmd/pmd/wiki/Setup-IDE if you want to use a IDE.

If you run ./mvnw clean verify everything will simply work.

The class you are missing is generated - hence it is not in source control. After you have executed maven to build the project, you find the generated sources under pmd-java/target/generated-sources/javacc.
