Maven : Configuration ruleSet

Question

Hi all!
When we launch flexpmd from the plugin maven, how could we indicate our xml rule file?
Indeed actually I run the plugin FlexPMD declared in my pom like this:
            <plugin>
                <groupId>com.adobe.ac</groupId>
                <artifactId>flex-pmd-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>1.0.RC4</version>
            </plugin>
But it takes by defaults all the rules. I have tried to configure my pom (like it did with ant) bya adding a configuration section where i specify my xml rule file.
            <plugin>
                <groupId>com.adobe.ac</groupId>
                <artifactId>flex-pmd-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>1.0.RC4</version>
                <configuration>
                    <ruleSet>pluginConfig/flexpmd.xml</ruleSet>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
This fails unfortunatly

Hi Xavier,
Here is the log of the error encountered:

FlexPMD is trying to search the ruleSet configuration file flexpmd.xml in the wrong directory.
I'm using a relative path for the location of the ruleSet file by incorporing this file in a project build-tools (which is specified in the parent pom of my project as an extension). Itworks with my other quality tools (checkstyle, pmd java, etc.).
I tried to change the relative path by an absolute path and it works fine (but it is not what I really want).
            <plugin>
                <groupId>com.adobe.ac</groupId>
                <artifactId>flex-pmd-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>1.0.RC4</version>
                <configuration>
                    <ruleSet>E:/pmd_all_rules.xml</ruleSet>       
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
Thanks for your reply
