You’ll need to either check out the source code or download the latest source release. Assuming you’ve got the latest source release, unzip it to a directory:
[tom@hal building]$ ls -l total 5716 -rw-rw-r-- 1 tom tom 5837216 Jul 17 13:09 pmd-src-5.3.7.zip [tom@hal building]$ unzip -q pmd-src-5.3.7.zip [tom@hal building]$
Now cd down into the pmd directory:
[tom@hal building]$ cd pmd-src-5.3.7 [tom@hal pmd-src-5.3.7]$ ls -l | grep pom.xml -rw-rw-r-- 1 tom tom 36482 14. Nov 17:36 pom.xml [tom@hal pmd-src-5.3.7]$
That’s the project configuration for maven… let’s compile!

Now the source and binary distribution zip files can be found in the folder pmd-dist/target.
