Remote ruleset: rules caching/refresh frequency? #40

Closed srinivas-os closed 7 years ago

srinivas-os commented 7 years ago

In case of remote ruleset, does this plugin cache the downloaded PMD rules locally?

If so, for what duration, and what is the cache refresh frequency?

Or is it a one-time download of the rules? (I don't think this is the case as per docs)

acanda commented 7 years ago

Remote rulesets are cached locally and are refreshed every hour. Note that a remote ruleset cannot be used to work off-line (for more than an hour) as the cached ruleset is not persistent and expires after an hour.

Thanks for the clarification, closing this.
