Upgrading PMD at Runtime

   The Maven PMD plugin comes with a default PMD version: for <<<maven-pmd-plugin ${project.version}>>>,
   <<PMD  ${pmdVersion}>> is used by default.

   Given that the {{{https://pmd.github.io}newer PMD version}} is compatible,
   you can override the PMD version, that the Maven plugin will use and benefit
   from the latest bugfixes and enhancements:
