      <p>PMD scans Java source code and looks for potential problems like:</p>
      <ul>
        <li>Possible bugs - empty try/catch/finally/switch statements</li>
        <li>Dead code - unused local variables, parameters and private methods</li>
        <li>Suboptimal code - wasteful String/StringBuffer usage</li>
        <li>Overcomplicated expressions - unnecessary if statements, for loops that could be while loops</li>
        <li>Duplicate code - copied/pasted code means copied/pasted bugs</li>
      </ul>
