[pmd-devel] JDK 17 is now in Rampdown Phase One

[Rory O'D. <ror...@or...>]

Hi Andreas,
*
Per the JDK 17 schedule , we are in Rampdown Phase One [1].*

**Please advise if you find any issues while testing the latest Early 
Access builds**.**

  * Schedule:
      o *2021/06/10       Rampdown Phase One*
      o 2021/07/15        Rampdown Phase Two
      o 2021/08/05        Initial Release Candidate
      o 2021/08/19        Final Release Candidate
      o 2021/09/14        General Availability

The overall feature set is frozen. No further JEPs will be targeted to 
this release.

**

  * Important JEPs have been integrated – Attention Required!
  * *JEP 411: **Deprecate the Security Manager for
    Removal*<https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/411>
      o Deprecate, for removal, most Security Manager related classes
        and methods.
      o Warning message at startup if the Security Manager is enabled on
        the command line.
      o Warning message at run time if a Java application or library
        installs a Security Manager dynamically.
      o Deprecation is in concert with the legacy Applet API (JEP 398).
  * *JEP 407: **Remove RMI Activation*<https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/407>
      o Removal the Remote Method Invocation (RMI) Activation mechanism,
        while preserving the rest of RMI.
      o It was deprecated for removal by JEP
        385<https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/385>in Java SE 15.
  * *JEP 403: **Strongly Encapsulate JDK
    Internals*<https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/403>
      o Strongly encapsulate all internal elements of the JDK, except
        for critical internal APIs such as /sun.misc.Unsafe/.
      o It will no longer be possible to relax the strong encapsulation
        of internal elements via a single command-line option.

  * Other features integrated in JDK 17:
      o *JEP 306: **Restore Always-Strict Floating-Point
        Semantics*<https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/306>

      New and noteworthy


        Javascript module now requires at least Java 8

The latest version of Rhino <https://github.com/mozilla/rhino>, the 
implementation of JavaScript we use
for parsing JavaScript code, requires at least Java 8. Therefore we 
decided to upgrade the pmd-javascript
module to Java 8 as well. This means that from now on, a Java 8 or later 
runtime is required in order
to analyze JavaScript code. Note that PMD core still only requires Java 7.


        New rules

This release ships with 3 new Java rules.

  * |JUnit5TestShouldBePackagePrivate|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.35.0/pmd_rules_java_bestpractices.html#junit5testshouldbepackageprivate>
    enforces the convention that JUnit 5 tests should have minimal
    visibility.
    You can try out this rule like so:

     <rule  ref="category/java/bestpractices.xml/JUnit5TestShouldBePackagePrivate"  />

  * |CognitiveComplexity|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.35.0/pmd_rules_java_design.html#cognitivecomplexity>
    uses the cognitive complexity
    metric to find overly complex code. This metric improves on the
    similar cyclomatic complexity
    in several ways, for instance, it incentivizes using clearly
    readable shorthands and idioms.
    See the rule documentation for more details. You can try out this
    rule like so:

     <rule  ref="category/java/design.xml/CognitiveComplexity"  />

  * |MutableStaticState|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.35.0/pmd_rules_java_design.html#mutablestaticstate>
    finds non-private static fields
    that are not final. These fields break encapsulation since these
    fields can be modified from anywhere
    within the program. You can try out this rule like so:

     <rule  ref="category/java/design.xml/MutableStaticState"  />


        Modified rules

  * The Java rule |CompareObjectsWithEquals|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.35.0/pmd_rules_java_errorprone.html#compareobjectswithequals>
    has now a new property
    |typesThatCompareByReference|. With that property, you can configure
    types, that should be whitelisted
    for comparison by reference. By default, |java.lang.Enum| and
    |java.lang.Class| are allowed, but
    you could add custom types here.
    Additionally comparisons against constants are allowed now. This
    makes the rule less noisy when two constants
    are compared. Constants are identified by looking for an all-caps
    identifier.


        Deprecated rules

  *

    The java rule |DefaultPackage|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.35.0/pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#defaultpackage>
    has been deprecated in favor of
    |CommentDefaultAccessModifier|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.35.0/pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#commentdefaultaccessmodifier>.

    The rule "DefaultPackage" assumes that any usage of package-access
    is accidental,
    and by doing so, prohibits using a really fundamental and useful
    feature of the language.

    To satisfy the rule, you have to make the member public even if it
    doesn't need to, or make it protected,
    which muddies your intent even more if you don't intend the class to
    be extended, and may be at odds with
    other rules like |AvoidProtectedFieldInFinalClass|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.35.0/pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#avoidprotectedfieldinfinalclass>.

    The rule |CommentDefaultAccessModifier|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.35.0/pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#commentdefaultaccessmodifier>
    should be used instead.
    It flags the same thing, but has an escape hatch.

  *

    The Java rule |CloneThrowsCloneNotSupportedException|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.35.0/pmd_rules_java_errorprone.html#clonethrowsclonenotsupportedexception>
    has been deprecated without
    replacement.

    The rule has no real value as |CloneNotSupportedException| is a
    checked exception and therefore you need to deal with it while
    implementing the |clone()| method. You either
    need to declare the exception or catch it. If you catch it, then
    subclasses can't throw it themselves explicitly.
    However, |Object.clone()| will still throw this exception if the
    |Cloneable| interface is not implemented.

    Note, this rule has also been removed from the Quickstart Ruleset
    (|rulesets/java/quickstart.xml|).

*We need your help in testing new Selector implementation on Windows [1]:*

  * The implementation of the Selector API on Windows has been replaced
    in JDK 17 b22 with a new more scalable implementation [2].
  * The old select based Selector implementation has been the default
    since Java 1.4 (2002) so replacing it is a significant change.
  * It would be really helpful to get more testing of the new
    implementation before the fork for Rampdown Phase One on June 10th.

      New and noteworthy


        New rules

  *

    The new Java rule |UseStandardCharsets|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.34.0/pmd_rules_java_bestpractices.html#usestandardcharsets>
    finds usages of |Charset.forName|,
    where |StandardCharsets| can be used instead.

    This rule is also part of the Quickstart Ruleset
    (|rulesets/java/quickstart.xml|) for Java.

  *

    The new Java rule |UnnecessaryImport|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.34.0/pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#unnecessaryimport>
    replaces the rules
    |UnusedImports|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.34.0/pmd_rules_java_bestpractices.html#unusedimports>,
    |DuplicateImports|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.34.0/pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#duplicateimports>,
    |ImportFromSamePackage|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.34.0/pmd_rules_java_errorprone.html#importfromsamepackage>,
    and |DontImportJavaLang|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.34.0/pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#dontimportjavalang>.

    This rule is also part of the Quickstart Ruleset
    (|rulesets/java/quickstart.xml|) for Java.


        Modified rules

  * The Apex rule |ApexCRUDViolation|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.34.0/pmd_rules_apex_security.html#apexcrudviolation>
    does not ignore getters anymore and also flags
    SOQL/SOSL/DML operations without access permission checks in
    getters. This will produce false positives now for
    VF getter methods, but we can't reliably detect, whether a getter is
    a VF getter or not. In such cases,
    the violation should be suppressed
    <https://sourceforge.net/p/pmd/news/2021/04/pmd_userdocs_suppressing_warnings.html>.


        Deprecated rules

  *

    java-bestpractices

      o |UnusedImports|
        <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.34.0/pmd_rules_java_bestpractices.html#unusedimports>:
        use the rule |UnnecessaryImport|
        <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.34.0/pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#unnecessaryimport>
        instead
  *

    java-codestyle

      o |DuplicateImports|
        <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.34.0/pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#duplicateimports>:
        use the rule |UnnecessaryImport|
        <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.34.0/pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#unnecessaryimport>
        instead
      o |DontImportJavaLang|

        <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.34.0/pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#unnecessaryimport>
        instead
  *

    java-errorprone

      o |ImportFromSamePackage|
        <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.34.0/pmd_rules_java_errorprone.html#importfromsamepackage>:
        use the rule |UnnecessaryImport|
        <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.34.0/pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#unnecessaryimport>

[pmd-devel] JDK 17 Early Access build 18 is available

[Rory O'D. <ror...@or...>]

*Hi Andreas, *

*OpenJDK 17 Early Access build 18****is now available at 
**https://jdk.java.net/17 <https://jdk.java.net/17>*

  * These early-access , open-source builds are provided under the
      o GNU General Public License, version 2, with the Classpath
        Exception <https://openjdk.java.net/legal/gplv2+ce.html>
  * Release Notes are available at http://jdk.java.net/17/release-notes
    <https://jdk.java.net/17/release-notes>


**G1 pauses may be extremely long with EA build JDK-17+18*

*During performance testing we noticed that due to a recent change 
(JDK-8262068) GC pauses after a G1 full GC may be extremely slow. The 
problem has been fixed with JDK-8264987 and that has already been 
integrated. This change will be available with the following EA build  
JDK-17+19.  For more technical info please see [1]


*JEP 382 [2]**  - Starting with build 19, **JDK 17 for macOS is 
*temporarily* switched from using OpenGL**to using Apple's Metal 
API**for Java 2D rendering.*

Heads up to anyone who is testing JDK 17 for running apps on macOS. 
Starting with build 19, JDK 17 for macOS is *temporarily* switched from 
using OpenGL to using Apple's Metal API for Java 2D rendering.

If you are running any kind of 2D / Swing/ AWT UI application on macOS, 
and see any rendering related problems
starting with JDK 17 b19, please do report them to us along with a test 
case and screen shots.

You may also set "-Dsun.java2d.opengl=true" to re-enable OpenGL - which  
implicitly disables Metal - to confirm that it is a Metal related 
rendering glltch.

        PLSQL parsing exclusions

The PMD PLSQL parser might not parse every valid PL/SQL code without 
problems.
In order to still use PMD on such files, you can now mark certain lines 
for exclusion from
the parser. More information can be found in the language specific 
documentation for PLSQL 
<https://sourceforge.net/p/pmd/news/2021/03/pmd_languages_plsql.html>.

      New and noteworthy


        Java 16 Support

This release of PMD brings support for Java 16. PMD supports JEP 394: 
Pattern Matching for instanceof <https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/394> and 
JEP 395: Records <https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/395>. Both have been 
promoted
to be a standard language feature of Java 16.

PMD also supports JEP 397: Sealed Classes (Second Preview) 
<https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/397> as a preview
language feature. In order to analyze a project with PMD that uses these 
language features, you'll need to enable
it via the environment variable |PMD_JAVA_OPTS| and select the new 
language version |16-preview|:

export PMD_JAVA_OPTS=--enable-preview
./run.sh pmd -language java -version 16-preview ...

Note: Support for Java 14 preview language features have been removed. 
The version "14-preview" is no longer available.


        Modified Rules

  * The Apex rule |ApexDoc|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.32.0/pmd_rules_apex_documentation.html#apexdoc>
    has two new properties: |reportPrivate| and
    |reportProtected|. Previously the rule only considered public and
    global classes, methods, and
    properties. With these properties, you can verify the existence of
    ApexDoc comments for private
    and protected methods as well. By default, these properties are
    disabled to preserve backwards
    compatible behavior.


      Fixed Issues

  * apex-documentation
      o #3075 <https://github.com/pmd/pmd/issues/3075>: [apex] ApexDoc
        should support private access modifier
  * java
      o #3101 <https://github.com/pmd/pmd/issues/3101>: [java]
        NullPointerException when running PMD under JRE 11
  * java-bestpractices
      o #3132 <https://github.com/pmd/pmd/issues/3132>: [java]

  * java-errorprone
      o #2716 <https://github.com/pmd/pmd/issues/2716>: [java]
        CompareObjectsWithEqualsRule: False positive with Enums
      o #3089 <https://github.com/pmd/pmd/issues/3089>: [java]
        CloseResource rule throws exception on spaces in property types
      o #3133 <https://github.com/pmd/pmd/issues/3133>: [java]
        InvalidLogMessageFormat FP with StringFormattedMessage and
        ParameterizedMessage
  * plsql
      o #3106 <https://github.com/pmd/pmd/issues/3106>: [plsql]
        ParseException while parsing EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'drop database
        link ' || linkname;


      API Changes


        Experimental APIs

  * The experimental class |ASTTypeTestPattern| has been renamed to
    |ASTTypePattern|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-java/6.32.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/java/ast/ASTTypePattern.html#>
    in order to align the naming to the JLS.
  * The experimental class |ASTRecordConstructorDeclaration| has been
    renamed to |ASTCompactConstructorDeclaration|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-java/6.32.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/java/ast/ASTCompactConstructorDeclaration.html#>
    in order to align the naming to the JLS.
  * The AST types and APIs around Pattern Matching and Records are not
    experimental anymore:
      o |ASTVariableDeclaratorId#isPatternBinding|
        <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-java/6.32.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/java/ast/ASTVariableDeclaratorId.html#isPatternBinding()>
      o |ASTPattern|
        <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-java/6.32.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/java/ast/ASTPattern.html#>
      o |ASTTypePattern|
        <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-java/6.32.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/java/ast/ASTTypePattern.html#>
      o |ASTRecordDeclaration|
        <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-java/6.32.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/java/ast/ASTRecordDeclaration.html#>
      o |ASTRecordComponentList|
        <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-java/6.32.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/java/ast/ASTRecordComponentList.html#>
      o |ASTRecordComponent|
        <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-java/6.32.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/java/ast/ASTRecordComponent.html#>
      o |ASTRecordBody|
        <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-java/6.32.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/java/ast/ASTRecordBody.html#>
      o |ASTCompactConstructorDeclaration|
        <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-java/6.32.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/java/ast/ASTCompactConstructorDeclaration.html#>


        Internal API

Those APIs are not intended to be used by clients, and will be hidden or 
removed with PMD 7.0.0.
You can identify them with the |@InternalApi| annotation. You'll also 
get a deprecation warning.

  * The protected or public member of the Java rule
    |AvoidUsingHardCodedIPRule|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-java/6.32.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/java/rule/bestpractices/AvoidUsingHardCodedIPRule.html#>
    are deprecated and considered to be internal API. They will be
    removed with PMD 7.

      New and noteworthy


        SARIF Format

PMD now supports the Static Analysis Results Interchange Format (SARIF) 
<https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=sarif>
as an additional report format. Just use the command line parameter 
<https://sourceforge.net/p/pmd/news/2021/01/pmd_userdocs_cli_reference.html#format> 
|-format sarif| to select it.
SARIF is an OASIS standard format for static analysis tools.
PMD creates SARIF JSON files in SARIF version 2.1.0 
<https://docs.oasis-open.org/sarif/sarif/v2.1.0/sarif-v2.1.0.html>.
An example report can be found in the documentation in Report formats 
for PMD 
<https://sourceforge.net/p/pmd/news/2021/01/pmd_userdocs_report_formats.html#sarif>.


        CPD

  * The C++ module now supports the new option
    |--ignore-literal-sequences|
    <https://pmd.github.io/latest/pmd_userdocs_cpd.html#-ignore-literal-sequences>,
    which can be used to avoid detection of some uninteresting clones.
    This options has been
    introduced with PMD 6.30.0 for C# and is now available for C++ as
    well. See #2963 <https://github.com/pmd/pmd/pull/2963>.


        New Rules

  *

    The new Apex rule |OverrideBothEqualsAndHashcode|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.31.0/pmd_rules_apex_errorprone.html#overridebothequalsandhashcode>
    brings the well known Java rule
    to Apex. In Apex the same principle applies: |equals| and |hashCode|
    should always be overridden
    together to ensure collection classes such as Maps and Sets work as
    expected.

  *

    The new Visualforce rule |VfHtmlStyleTagXss|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.31.0/pmd_rules_vf_security.html#vfhtmlstyletagxss>
    checks for potential XSS problems
    when using |<style>| tags on Visualforce pages.


        Deprecated rules

  * java-performance
      o |AvoidUsingShortType|
        <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.31.0/pmd_rules_java_performance.html#avoidusingshorttype>:
        arithmetic on shorts is not significantly
        slower than on ints, whereas using shorts may provide
        significant memory savings in arrays.
      o |SimplifyStartsWith|
        <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.31.0/pmd_rules_java_performance.html#simplifystartswith>:
        the suggested code transformation has an
        insignificant performance impact, and decreases readability.

      API Changes


        Deprecated API

  * |AbstractDomXmlRule|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-xml/6.31.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/xml/rule/AbstractDomXmlRule.html#>
  * |AbstractWsdlRule|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-xml/6.31.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/wsdl/rule/AbstractWsdlRule.html#>
  * A few methods of |AbstractXmlRule|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-xml/6.31.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/xml/rule/AbstractXmlRule.html#>


        Experimental APIs

  * The method |GenericToken#getKind|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-core/6.31.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/ast/GenericToken.html#getKind()>
    has been added as experimental. This
    unifies the token interface for both JavaCC and Antlr. The already
    existing method
    |AntlrToken#getKind|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-core/6.31.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/cpd/token/AntlrToken.html#getKind()>
    is therefore experimental as well. The
    returned constant depends on the actual language and might change
    whenever the grammar
    of the language is changed.

      New and noteworthy


          CPD

  *

    The C# module now supports the new option
    |--ignore-literal-sequences|
    <https://pmd.github.io/latest/pmd_userdocs_cpd.html#-ignore-literal-sequences>,
    which can be used to avoid detection of some uninteresting clones.
    Support for other languages may be added in the future. See #2945
    <https://github.com/pmd/pmd/pull/2945>

  *

    The Scala module now supports suppression
    <https://pmd.github.io/latest/pmd_userdocs_cpd.html#suppression>
    through |CPD-ON|/|CPD-OFF| comment pairs. See #2929
    <https://github.com/pmd/pmd/pull/2929>


          Type information for VisualForce

The Visualforce AST now can resolve the data type of Visualforce 
expressions that reference Apex Controller properties and Custom Object 
fields. This feature improves the precision of existing rules, like 
|VfUnescapeEl| 
<https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.30.0/pmd_rules_vf_security.html#vfunescapeel>.

This can be configured using two environment variables:
/|PMD_VF_APEXDIRECTORIES|: Comma separated list of directories for Apex 
classes. Absolute or relative to the Visualforce directory. Default is 
|../classes|. Specifying an empty string will disable data type 
resolution for Apex Controller properties.
/ |PMD_VF_OBJECTSDIRECTORIES|: Comma separated list of directories for 
Custom Objects. Absolute or relative to the Visualforce directory. 
Default is |../objects|. Specifying an empty string will disable data 
type resolution for Custom Object fields.

This feature is experimental, in particular, expect changes to the way 
the configuration is specified. We'll probably extend the CLI instead of 
relying on environment variables in a future version.

Thanks to Jeff Bartolotta and Roopa Mohan for contributing this!

      API Changes


        Deprecated API


          Around RuleSet parsing

  * |RuleSetFactory|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-core/6.30.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/RuleSetFactory.html#>
    and |RulesetsFactoryUtils|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-core/6.30.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/RulesetsFactoryUtils.html#>
    have been deprecated in favor of |RuleSetLoader|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-core/6.30.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/RuleSetLoader.html#>.
    This is easier to configure, and more maintainable than the multiple
    overloads of |RuleSetFactoryUtils|.
  * Some static creation methods have been added to |RuleSet|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-core/6.30.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/RuleSet.html#>
    for simple cases, eg |forSingleRule|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-core/6.30.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/RuleSet.html#forSingleRule(net.sourceforge.pmd.Rule)>.
    These replace some counterparts in |RuleSetFactory|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-core/6.30.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/RuleSetFactory.html#>
  * Since |RuleSets|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-core/6.30.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/RuleSets.html#>
    is also deprecated, many APIs that require a RuleSets instance now
    are deprecated, and have a counterpart that expects a |List<RuleSet>|.
  * |RuleSetReferenceId|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-core/6.30.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/RuleSetReferenceId.html#>,
    |RuleSetReference|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-core/6.30.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/RuleSetReference.html#>,
    |RuleSetFactoryCompatibility|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-core/6.30.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/RuleSetFactoryCompatibility.html#>
    are deprecated. They are most likely not relevant outside of the
    implementation of pmd-core.


          Around the |PMD| class

Many classes around PMD's entry point (|PMD| 
<https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-core/6.30.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/PMD.html#>) 
have been deprecated as internal, including:
/The contents of the packages |net.sourceforge.pmd.cli| 
<https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-core/6.30.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/cli/package-summary.html#>, 
|net.sourceforge.pmd.processor| 
<https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-core/6.30.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/processor/package-summary.html#>
/ |SourceCodeProcessor| 
<https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-core/6.30.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/SourceCodeProcessor.html#>
* The constructors of |PMD| 
<https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-core/6.30.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/PMD.html#> 
(the class will be made a utility class)


          Miscellaneous

  * |ASTPackageDeclaration#getPackageNameImage|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-java/6.30.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/java/ast/ASTPackageDeclaration.html#getPackageNameImage()>,
    |ASTTypeParameter#getParameterName|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-java/6.30.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/java/ast/ASTTypeParameter.html#getParameterName()>
    and the corresponding XPath attributes. In both cases they're
    replaced with a new method |getName|,
    the attribute is |@Name|.
  * |ASTClassOrInterfaceBody#isAnonymousInnerClass|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-java/6.30.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/java/ast/ASTClassOrInterfaceBody.html#isAnonymousInnerClass()>,
    and |ASTClassOrInterfaceBody#isEnumChild|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-java/6.30.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/java/ast/ASTClassOrInterfaceBody.html#isEnumChild()>,
    refs #905 <https://github.com/pmd/pmd/issues/905>


        Internal API

Those APIs are not intended to be used by clients, and will be hidden or 
removed with PMD 7.0.0.
You can identify them with the |@InternalApi| annotation. You'll also 
get a deprecation warning.

  * |net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.ecmascript.Ecmascript3Handler|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-javascript/6.30.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/ecmascript/Ecmascript3Handler.html#>

The Java Cryptographic Roadmap has been updated [3]:

  * Distrust TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 by default
      o TLS protocol versions 1.0 and 1.1 are no longer considered
        secure and have been superseded by more secure and modern
        versions (TLS 1.2 and 1.3). This change has been integrated with
        JDK 16 Early Access build 26.
  * Upgrade of default algorithms used to encrypt PKCS12 keystores
      o The new algorithms are based on AES-256 and SHA-256 and are
        stronger than the old algorithms which were based on RC2,
        DESede, and SHA-1.This change is already included in JDK 16
        Early Access build 23.

      New and noteworthy


        Updated Apex Support

  * The Apex language support has been bumped to version 50 (Winter
    '21). All new language features are now properly
    parsed and processed. Especially the Safe Navigation Operator
    <https://releasenotes.docs.salesforce.com/en-us/winter21/release-notes/rn_apex_SafeNavigationOperator.htm>
    is now supported.
    See also Salesforce Winter '21 Release Notes
    <https://releasenotes.docs.salesforce.com/en-us/winter21/release-notes/rn_apex.htm>


        New Rules

  * The new Apex rule |OperationWithLimitsInLoop|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.29.0/pmd_rules_apex_performance.html#operationwithlimitsinloop>
    (|apex-performance|)
    finds operations in loops that may hit governor limits such as DML
    operations, SOQL
    queries and more. The rule replaces the three rules
    "AvoidDmlStatementsInLoops", "AvoidSoqlInLoops",
    and "AvoidSoslInLoops".


        Renamed Rules

  * The Java rule |DoNotCallSystemExit|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.29.0/pmd_rules_java_errorprone.html#donotcallsystemexit>
    has been renamed to
    |DoNotTerminateVM|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.29.0/pmd_rules_java_errorprone.html#donotterminatevm>,
    since it checks for all the following calls:
    |System.exit(int)|, |Runtime.exit(int)|, |Runtime.halt(int)|. All
    these calls terminate
    the Java VM, which is bad, if the VM runs an application server
    which many independent applications.


        Deprecated Rules

  * The Apex rules |AvoidDmlStatementsInLoops|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.29.0/pmd_rules_apex_performance.html#avoiddmlstatementsinloops>,
    |AvoidSoqlInLoops|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.29.0/pmd_rules_apex_performance.html#avoidsoqlinloops>
    and |AvoidSoslInLoops|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.29.0/pmd_rules_apex_performance.html#avoidsoslinloops>
    (|apex-performance|) are deprecated in favour of the new rule
    |OperationWithLimitsInLoop|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.29.0/pmd_rules_apex_performance.html#operationwithlimitsinloop>.
    The deprecated rules will be removed
    with PMD 7.0.0.

      New and noteworthy


        CPD's AnyTokenizer has been improved

The AnyTokenizer is used for languages, that don't have an own
lexer/grammar based tokenizer.
AnyTokenizer now handles string literals and end-of-line comments.
Fortran, Perl and Ruby have
been updated to use AnyTokenizer instead of their old custom tokenizer
based on AbstractTokenizer.
See #2758 <https://github.com/pmd/pmd/pull/2758> for details.

AbstractTokenizer and the custom tokenizers of Fortran, Perl and Ruby
are deprecated now.
