Summary: Run PMD on file open and save only

Initial Comment:
Very often findbugs/checkstyle and pmd are used on very large projects. As such running these tools on the entire code base within Eclipse is simply unworkable.

FindBugs and CheckStyle have the facility to only run when you open and save a file in Eclipse. This functionality should be added to PMD.

Allowing PMD to run when a file is opened in Eclipse removes the need for a developer to remember to run it manually. Having the option to not run it across the entire code base will have significant performance gain.

Also it was spotted that when you click "Enable PMD" it then starts to run on the whole code base - this should be made optional.

Message:
I agree.  This is probably the biggest impediment to using PMD Eclipse
integration on a large project.  Checkstyle has the ability to only run
against open files.  Findbugs has the ability to only run after a file is
saved. (not quite as nice).  I haven't looked at how checkstyle or findbugs
implemented this but they could be used as examples.

Our application has 6000 java files and PMD currently doubles the build
time in Eclipse.
