I'm trying to configure PMD for code analysis. I'm using VS Code, already installed Java 10, downloaded several versions of PMD
I've installed the Apex PMD extension for VS Code and configured it as per it's instructions.
But keep getting the can't find resource error no matter which version I choose.
This is part of the output from VS Code

If i run the command from command line I get a similar output. This error is for every rule I have on my ruleset which is nothing out of the ordinary, it's the default ruleset that comes with the extension.
