Because complexity metrics, like Cyclomatic complexity, strongly correlate to defects, if PMD flags a method with excessive values, taking the time to figure out why the complexity is there and determining if there is a path to mitigate it will almost certainly pay dividends in the future.

Luckily, it’s rather easy to employ these objective measurements of code quality when it comes to refactoring. Cyclomatic complexity, for instance, is excellent at spotting complex code, which can then be refactored using the Extract Method technique. [...] [...] Unless one effectively makes use of code metrics, they are, arguably, useless data points.
