Re: build.xml for pmd bridge

Thanks, I've updated the build.xml file as you suggested.  I've
probably never tested the user-file inclusion, since my pmd libraries
are generally located where the default variable assignment points -
e.g. the netbeans.home/modules/ directory.

It's been a slow and frustrating process. They didn't want to include
the original patch, since they are trying to close all API access to
org.netbeans.modules.java. They want to only export a public API in
org.netbeans.api.java - but of course those public APIs need to be
well thought out since they need to be supported "forever". So I went
through a second iteration where I provided a patch which creates an
official API and its implementation (split into two modules,
java-api.jar and java.jar) and submitted that, got some more feedback,
revised the patch and submitted that. The last step was 3 weeks ago,
and I pinged for status last Thursday and was told that he'd try to
take a look at it this weekend.

So I'm not sure how soon it will get done (it depends on how suitable
my patch is considered to be) but at least it feels like I'm making
-some- progress.
