PMD is decent but really not all that useful in the grand scheme of things. Two tools are absolutely critical at my workspace:
checkstyle - enforce a coding style. We integrate this into our SCM system so people can't check in unless their code meets the official style. It's draconian but our codebase would have 12 different styles and be close to unreadable without it.
SmartBear's CodeCollaborator - a tool which makes code reviews easy. This is a necessity when working with junior developers on another continent. I can't speakly highly enough about this program - it's commercial but worth every penny.
