This plugin provides generic plotting (or graphing) capabilities in Hudson.
This plugin will plot data across builds. Plots for a particular job (or project) are configured in the job configuration screen, where each field has additional help information. Data for the plots are pulled from Java properties files in your build workspace after each build completes. Each plot can have one or more lines (called data series). Data for each plot is stored in a CSV file within the job's root project directory.
Here is an example of the plots generated by this plugin: 
Additional features for this plugin are tracked under Issue 219.
Example Usage to generate detailed PMD reports
Attached is a Perl script which generates more detailed "summaries" out of PMD report files. We use this for several code analysis projects, all named trunk.codeanalysis.prefix.
To have all resulting plots at one page, give all Plots the same plot group. Because each code quality has its very own range, define each on a separate plot, not as an additional data series.
