Today I installed PMD 4.2.5 in the CDK 1.2.x branch which contains mostly bug fixes compared to the 4.2.2 version we had earlier. Several of these include false positives: warnings which were not really problems, but tests going bad.

The number of these false positives seems to be significant as the number of PMD violations for the CDK 1.2.x branch seems to have dropped about 1500! warnings :)
