How to disable some of the default PMD rules that come with salesforce code analyser installation?

[kirankapila]

Hi Team,

I need to exclude some of the default PMD rules that are available with salesforce code analyser.

I could see that most rules are spit our at runtime as .xml file from within .jar files.

Is there a better way of disabling a subset of the default PMD rules instead of meddling with .jar files? Please advise

Thanks
