PHPMD - enable entire ruleset and set properties

I am using PHPMD ( http://phpmd.org/ ) and I am completely new to this. MD is working, now I am writing a set of rules to tune which metrics to use. Instead of including each rule separately, I load all the rulesets. But now I have a problem that I don't know how to set the properties of individual rules if I include the whole set.

For example, I want to use a rule to test for cyclical complexity. I can use

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ruleset name="Demo PHPMD rule set"
         xmlns="http://pmd.sf.net/ruleset/1.0.0"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://pmd.sf.net/ruleset/1.0.0 http://pmd.sf.net/ruleset_xml_schema.xsd"
         xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://pmd.sf.net/ruleset_xml_schema.xsd">
    <description> custom ruleset that checks the code </description> 
    <rule ref="rulesets/codesize.xml/CyclomaticComplexity">
        <properties>
            <property name="reportLevel" value="11" />
        </properties>
    </rule>
</ruleset>

      

        
        
        
      

    

But if I want to use all the rules from this rule set, I can just write

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ruleset name="Demo PHPMD rule set"
         xmlns="http://pmd.sf.net/ruleset/1.0.0"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://pmd.sf.net/ruleset/1.0.0 http://pmd.sf.net/ruleset_xml_schema.xsd"
         xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://pmd.sf.net/ruleset_xml_schema.xsd">
    <description> custom ruleset that checks the code </description> 
    <rule ref="rulesets/codesize.xml" />
</ruleset>

      

        
        
        
      

    

Now, how can I use the property configuration (in my case reportLevel for cyclical complexity) when I include the entire ruleset? I tried something like

[...]
    <rule ref="rulesets/codesize.xml">
        <properties>
            <property name="CyclomaticComplexity.reportLevel" value="11" />
        </properties>
    </rule>
[...]

      

        
        
        
      

    

But it didn't work. I have searched in the documentation but couldn't find an example for this anywhere.
