PMD continues to operate in the background in Eclipse even when it isn't "being used". I know this because I can see items in the Error log that are pmd-related.
Every Eclipse developer knows the cycle of installing a "fresh eclipse" with no plugins, gradually adding plugins over time, eclipse becoming sluggish, then repeating the cycle.
Is it possible to add a button to the main PMD preferences tab that "turns it off"? That would be much better than installing and uninstalling PMD every few months for a code review.
