Have you tried to resolve this issue yourself first?
- I confirm I have gone through the above steps and still have an issue to report.
Bug Description
Running sf code analyzer v5 against a package (about 350k lines of code) gets stuck for PMD. It reaches about 25% completion in a few minutes, but then stops progressing. I let it run for over 16 hours without any progress.

eslint [17:55:37]: The ESLint ignore file '.eslintignore' was found but not applied.
To apply this ignore file, set it as the eslint_ignore_file value in your Code Analyzer configuration. For example:
engines:
eslint:
eslint_ignore_file: ".eslintignore"
Alternatively, to have Code Analyzer automatically discover and apply any ESLint configuration and ignore files found in your workspace, set the auto_discover_eslint_config value to true.

Steps To Reproduce
- Run any of the following commands:
(Running it for AppExchange security review, with logs)
sf code-analyzer run --rule-selector pmd --rule-selector Recommended:Security --output-file CodeAnalyzerReport.html --config-file code-analyzer.yml
OR
(Running it for AppExchange security review, without logs)
sf code-analyzer run --rule-selector pmd --rule-selector Recommended:Security --output-file CodeAnalyzerReport.html
Expected Behavior
It should complete OR report any errors on the console output or logs. There is nothing in the logs (see attached).

Additional Context (Screenshots, Files, etc)

Workaround
Not aware of any workaround. I was hoping that if logs show any files that cause the PMD engine to freeze, I could remove those files and run the scan again.
Urgency
Moderate
