Unable to locate Source XRef to link to

I have a big maven project that uses the pmd plugin for code quality checks.

since I started using the pmd plugin i get the following warning message:

[WARNING] Unable to locate Source XRef to link to - DISABLED

I googled and found that i need to implement the jxr plugin.

so I add the following to the build property in the main pom.xml file.

  <plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-jxr-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.3</version>
  </plugin>

welp it doesn't really change anything.

any ideas what I need to implement in order to resolve this warning message?

output of mvn -version

It is way easier to configure it this way and not tie it to the site phase.

Then, it is as simple as mvn test.
