How to ignore "id" in Short Variable rule using PMD

I am using PMD plugin (version 4.0.2) for Eclipse (Eclipse Kepler Java EE). I have configured a naming rule: ShortVariable.

This works fine except for parameters like "id" and "e". I want PMD to ignore these. So I searched for a way to ignore certain parameters. I found this link (although it's for phpmd) and tried it, yet I can't seem to get it working. My config file looks like this (XML):

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ruleset name="My PMD ruleset"
 xmlns="http://pmd.sourceforge.net/ruleset/2.0.0"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xsi:schemaLocation="http://pmd.sourceforge.net/ruleset/2.0.0 http://pmd.sourceforge.net/ruleset_2_0_0.xsd">
    <description>
        My PMD
    </description>
    <rule ref="rulesets/java/naming.xml/ShortVariable">
        <property name="exceptions" value="id" />
    </rule>
</ruleset>

When I try to import this ruleset using the eclipse plugin, it shows no possible rules to import. Any ideas?
