Running pmd-3.8 sanity project. Ive added to the report filter="static constructor else catch assert".

the "if" line is filtered (with message "Filtered by:") when there is an else statement after it.

eg.

1 if (o != null)

{ 2 processRule(o); 3 }

else

{ 4 processRule(data); 5 }

both lines 1 and 4 are filtered. line 4 has the correct message "Filtered by: else"
