[jbosstools-dev] BE IT RESOLVED: Remove PMD from Central & re-enable Central for RPM users

[Nick Boldt]

As there were no objections I've removed PMD from Central and have reverted
the commits that pulled the Software/Updates tab from the RPM.

Hopefully a respin of the RPM will verify that everything from Central can
in fact be installed w/o problems.
