      New and noteworthy


        Modified Rules

  * The rule "FieldDeclarationsShouldBeAtStartOfClass" of the
    java-design ruleset has a new
    property |ignoreInterfaceDeclarations|. Setting this property
    to |true| ignores interface declarations, that precede fields.
    Example usage:

|<rule
ref="rulesets/java/design.xml/FieldDeclarationsShouldBeAtStartOfClass">
<properties> <property name="ignoreInterfaceDeclarations" value="true"/>
</properties> </rule>|


        Renderers

  * Added the 'empty' renderer which will write nothing. Does not affect
    other behaviors, for example the command line PMD exit status will
    still indicate whether violations were found.
