Thanks, I've just fixed the link.

It was meant to point to

The PMD team is pleased to announce PMD 6.6.0.

This is a minor release.

      New and noteworthy


        Java 11 Support

PMD is now able to parse the local-variable declaration syntax |var
xxx|, that has been
extended for lambda parameters with Java 11 via
JEP 323: Local-Variable Syntax for Lambda Parameters
<http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/323>.


        New Rules

  *

    The new Java rule |LocalVariableNamingConventions|
    <https://sourceforge.net/p/pmd/news/2018/07/pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#localvariablenamingconventions>
    (|java-codestyle|) detects local variable names that don't comply to
    a given convention. It defaults to standard
    Java convention of using camelCase, but can be configured. Special
    cases can be configured for final variables
    and caught exceptions' names.

  *

    The new Java rule |FormalParameterNamingConventions|
    <https://sourceforge.net/p/pmd/news/2018/07/pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#formalparameternamingconventions>
    (|java-codestyle|) detects formal parameter names that don't comply
    to a given convention. It defaults to
    standard Java convention of using camelCase, but can be configured.
    Special cases can be configured for final
    parameters and lambda parameters (considering whether they are
    explicitly typed or not).


        Modified Rules

  * The Java rules |AccessorClassGeneration|
    <https://sourceforge.net/p/pmd/news/2018/07/pmd_rules_java_bestpracices.html#accessorclassgeneration>
    and
    |AccessorMethodGeneration|
    <https://sourceforge.net/p/pmd/news/2018/07/pmd_rules_java_bestpracices.html#accessormethodgeneration>
    (both in category
    |java-bestpractices|) have been modified to be only valid up until
    Java 10. Java 11 adds support for
    JEP 181: Nest-Based Access Control
    <http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/181> which avoids the generation of
    accessor classes / methods altogether.


      Fixed Issues

  * core
      o #1178 <https://github.com/pmd/pmd/issues/1178>: [core]
        "Unsupported build listener" in gradle build
      o #1225 <https://github.com/pmd/pmd/issues/1225>: [core] Error in
        sed expression on line 82 of run.sh while detecting installed

  * ui
      o #1233 <https://github.com/pmd/pmd/issues/1233>: [ui] XPath
        autocomplete arrows on first and last items


      API Changes

  * The |findDescendantsOfType| methods in
    |net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.ast.AbstractNode| no longer search for
    exact type matches, but will match subclasses, too. That means, it's
    now possible to look for abstract node
    types such as |AbstractJavaTypeNode| and not only for it's concrete
    subtypes.

Re: [pmd-devel] New location of Java ruleset DTD

[Andreas D. <and...@ad...>]

Hi Oscar,

the location is still correct: http://pmd.sourceforge.net/ruleset_2_0_0.xsd

Although you now get a redirect to the https version of the homepage:
https://pmd.sourceforge.io/ruleset_2_0_0.xsd

The 404 was probably only temporary.

On pmd.github.io the schema can be found also at the root directory:
https://pmd.github.io/ruleset_2_0_0.xsd

Cheers,

Andreas

NEW AND NOTEWORTHY

NEW RULES

 	* The new Apex rule `AvoidNonExistentAnnotations` [1]
(apex-errorprone) detects usages non-officially supported annotations.
Apex supported non existent annotations for legacy reasons. In the
future, use of such non-existent annotations could result in broken Apex
code that will not compile. A full list of supported annotations can be
found here [2]

MODIFIED RULES

 	* The Java rule UnnecessaryModifier [3] (java-codestyle) now detects
enum constrcutors with explicit private modifier. The rule now produces
better error messages letting you know exactly which modifiers are
redundant at each declaration.

FIXED ISSUES

 	* all

API CHANGES

	* The utility class net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.CommentUtil has
been deprecated and will be removed with PMD 7.0.0. Its methods have
been intended to parse javadoc tags. A more useful solution will be
added around the AST nodeFormalComment, which contains as children
JavadocElement nodes, which in turn provide access to the JavadocTag. 

All comment AST nodes (FormalComment, MultiLineComment,
SingleLineComment) have a new method getFilteredComment() which provide
access to the comment text without the leading /* markers. 	* The method
AbstractCommentRule.tagsIndicesIn() has been deprecated and will be
removed with PMD 7.0.0. It is not very useful, since it doesn't extract
the information in a useful way. You would still need check, which tags
have been found, and with which data they might be accompanied.

New and noteworthy Java 10 Support

PMD is now able to understand local-variable type inference as introduced
by Java 10.
Simple type resolution features are available, e.g. the type of the
variable s is inferred
correctly as String:

var s = "Java 10";

XPath Type Resolution Functions

For some time now PMD has supported Type Resolution, and exposed this
functionality to XPath rules for the Java language
with the typeof function. This function however had a number of
shortcomings:

   - It would take a first arg with the name to match if types couldn’t be
   resolved. In all cases this was @Image
   but was still required.
   - It required 2 separate arguments for the Fully Qualified Class Name
   and the simple name of the class against
   which to test.
   - If only the Fully Qualified Class Name was provided, no simple name
   check was performed (not documented,
   but abused on some rules to “fix” some false positives).

In this release we are deprecating typeof in favor of a simpler typeIs
function, which behaves exactly as the
old typeof when given all 3 arguments.

typeIs receives a single parameter, which is the fully qualified name of
the class to test against.

So, calls such as:

//ClassOrInterfaceType[typeof(@Image, 'junit.framework.TestCase', 'TestCase')]

can now we expressed much more concisely as:

//ClassOrInterfaceType[typeIs('junit.framework.TestCase')]

With this change, we also allow to check against array types by just
appending [] to the fully qualified class name.
These can be repeated for arrays of arrays (e.g. byte[][] or
java.lang.String[]).

Additionally, we introduce the companion function typeIsExactly, that
receives the same parameters as typeIs,
but checks for exact type matches, without considering the type hierarchy.
That is, the test
typeIsExactly('junit.framework.TestCase') will match only if the context
node is an instance of TestCase, but
not if it’s an instance of a subclass of TestCase. Be aware then, that
using that method with abstract types will
never match.
New Rules

   -

   The new Java rule HardCodedCryptoKey
   <http://pmd_rules_java_security.html#hardcodedcryptokey> (java-security)
   detects hard coded keys used for encryption. It is recommended to store
   keys outside of the source code.
   -

   The new Java rule IdenticalCatchBranches
   <http://pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#identicalcatchbranches> (
   java-codestyle)
   finds catch blocks,
   that catch different exception but perform the same exception handling
   and thus can be collapsed into a
   multi-catch try statement.

Modified Rules

   -

   The Java rule JUnit4TestShouldUseTestAnnotation
   <http://pmd_rules_java_bestpractices.html#junit4testshouldusetestannotation>
   (java-bestpractices)
   has a new parameter “testClassPattern”. It is used to distinguish test
   classes from other classes and
   avoid false positives. By default, any class, that has “Test” in its
   name, is considered a test class.
   -

   The Java rule CommentDefaultAccessModifier
   <http://pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#commentdefaultaccessmodifier> (
   java-codestyle)
   allows now by default the comment “/* package */ in addition to “/*
   default */. This behavior can
   still be adjusted by setting the property regex.

   been deprecated: Benchmark, Benchmarker,
   BenchmarkReport, BenchmarkResult, RuleDuration, StringBuilderCR and
   TextReport. Their API is not supported anymore
   and is disconnected from the internals of PMD. Use the newer API based
   around TimeTracker instead, which can be found
   in the same package.
   - The class net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.xpath.TypeOfFunction has been
   deprecated. Use the newer TypeIsFunction in the same package.
   - The typeof methdos in net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.xpath.JavaFunctions
   have been deprecated.
   Use the newer typeIs method in the same class instead..
   - The methods isA, isEither and isNeither of
   net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.typeresolution.TypeHelper.
   Use the new isExactlyAny and isExactlyNone methods in the same class
   instead.

      New and noteworthy


        Tree Traversal Revision

As described in #904 <https://github.com/pmd/pmd/issues/904>, when
searching for child nodes of the AST methods
such as |hasDescendantOfType|, |getFirstDescendantOfType| and
|findDescendantsOfType| were found to behave inconsistently,
not all of them honoring find boundaries; that is, nodes that define a
self-contained entity which should be considered separately
(think of lambdas, nested classes, anonymous classes, etc.). We have
modified these methods to ensure all of them honor
find boundaries.

This change implies several false positives / unexpected results
(ie: |ASTBlockStatement| falsely returning |true| to |isAllocation()|)
have been fixed; and lots of searches are now restricted to smaller
search areas, which improves performance
(depending on the project, we have measured up to 10% improvements
during Type Resolution, Symbol Table analysis,
and some rules' application).


        Naming Rules Enhancements

  *

    ClassNamingConventions
    <https://sourceforge.net/p/pmd/news/2018/04/pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#classnamingconventions>
    (|java-codestyle|)
    has been enhanced to allow granular configuration of naming
    conventions for different kinds of type declarations (eg enum or
    abstract
    class). Each kind of declaration can use its own naming convention
    using a regex property. See the rule's documentation for more info about
    configuration and default conventions.

  *

    MethodNamingConventions
    <https://sourceforge.net/p/pmd/news/2018/04/pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#methodnamingconventions>
    (|java-codestyle|)
    has been enhanced in the same way.


        CPD Suppression

Back in PMD 5.6.0 we introduced the ability to suppress CPD warnings in
Java using comments, by
including |CPD-OFF| (to start ignoring code), or |CPD-ON| (to resume
analysis) during CPD execution.
This has proved to be much more flexible and versatile than the old
annotation-based approach,
and has since been the preferred way to suppress CPD warnings.

On this occasion, we are extending support for comment-based
suppressions to many other languages:

  * C/C++
  * Ecmascript / Javascript
  * Matlab
  * Objective-C
  * PL/SQL
  * Python

So for instance, in Python we could now do:

class BaseHandler(object):
    def __init__(self):
        # some unignored code

        # tell cpd to start ignoring code - CPD-OFF

        # mission critical code, manually loop unroll
        GoDoSomethingAwesome(x + x / 2);
        GoDoSomethingAwesome(x + x / 2);
        GoDoSomethingAwesome(x + x / 2);
        GoDoSomethingAwesome(x + x / 2);
        GoDoSomethingAwesome(x + x / 2);
        GoDoSomethingAwesome(x + x / 2);

        # resume CPD analysis - CPD-ON

        # further code will *not* be ignored

Other languages are equivalent.


        Swift 4.1 Support

Thanks to major contributions from kenji21 <https://github.com/kenji21>
the Swift grammar has been updated to
support Swift 4.1. This is a major update, since the old grammar was
quite dated, and we are sure all iOS
developers will enjoy it.

Unfortunately, this change is not compatible. The grammar elements that
have been removed (ie: the keywords |__FILE__|,
|__LINE__|, |__COLUMN__| and |__FUNCTION__|) are no longer supported. We
don't usually introduce such
drastic / breaking changes in minor releases, however, given that the
whole Swift ecosystem pushes hard towards
always using the latest versions, and that Swift needs all code and
libraries to be currently compiling against
the same Swift version, we felt strongly this change was both safe and
necessary to be shipped as soon as possible.
We had great feedback from the community during the process but if you
have a legitimate use case for older Swift
versions, please let us know on our Issue Tracker
<https://github.com/pmd/pmd/issues>.


        New Rules

  * The new Java rule InsecureCryptoIv
    <https://sourceforge.net/p/pmd/news/2018/04/pmd_rules_java_security.html#insecurecryptoiv>
    (|java-security|)
    detects hard coded initialization vectors used in cryptographic
    operations. It is recommended to use
    a randomly generated IV.


        Modified Rules

  *

    The Java rule UnnecessaryConstructor
    <https://sourceforge.net/p/pmd/news/2018/04/pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#unnecessaryconstructor>
    (|java-codestyle|)
    has been rewritten as a Java rule (previously it was a XPath-based
    rule). It supports a new property
    |ignoredAnnotations| and ignores by default empty constructors,
    that are annotated with |javax.inject.Inject|. Additionally, it
    detects now also unnecessary private constructors
    in enums.

  *

    The property |checkNativeMethods| of the Java rule
    MethodNamingConventions
    <https://sourceforge.net/p/pmd/news/2018/04/pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#methodnamingconventions>
    (|java-codestyle|)
    is now deprecated, as it is now superseded by |nativePattern|.
    Support for that property will be maintained until
    7.0.0.

  *

    The Java rule ControlStatementBraces
    <https://sourceforge.net/p/pmd/news/2018/04/pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#controlstatementbraces>
    (|java-codestyle|)
    supports a new boolean property |checkSingleIfStmt|. When unset, the
    rule won't report |if| statements which lack
    braces, if the statement is not part of an |if ... else if| chain.
    This property defaults to true.


        Deprecated Rules

  * The Java rule AbstractNaming
    <https://sourceforge.net/p/pmd/news/2018/04/pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#abstractnaming>
    (|java-codestyle|) is deprecated
    in favour of ClassNamingConventions

[Andreas D. <and...@ad...>]

*   Downloads: https://github.com/pmd/pmd/releases/tag/pmd_releases%2F6.2.0

    26-March-2018 - 6.2.0

The PMD team is pleased to announce PMD 6.2.0.

This is a minor release.

      New and noteworthy


        Ecmascript (JavaScript)

The Rhino Library <https://github.com/mozilla/rhino> has been upgraded
from version 1.7.7 to version 1.7.7.2.

Detailed changes for changed in Rhino can be found:

  * For 1.7.7.2
    <https://github.com/mozilla/rhino/blob/master/RELEASE-NOTES.md#rhino-1772>
  * For 1.7.7.1
    <https://github.com/mozilla/rhino/blob/master/RELEASE-NOTES.md#rhino-1771>

Both are bugfixing releases.


        Disable Incremental Analysis

Some time ago, we added support for Incremental Analysis. On PMD 6.0.0,
we started to add warns when not using it, as we strongly believe it's a
great improvement to our user's experience as analysis time is greatly
reduced; and in the future we plan to have it enabled by default.
However, we realize some scenarios don't benefit from it (ie: CI jobs),
and having the warning logged can be noisy and cause confusion.

To this end, we have added a new flag to allow you to explicitly disable
incremental analysis. On CLI, this is the new |-no-cache| flag. On Ant,
there is a |noCache| attribute for the |<pmd>| task.

On both scenarios, disabling the cache takes precedence over setting a
cache location.


        New Rules

  * The new Java rule `MissingOverride` (category |bestpractices|)
    detects overridden and implemented methods, which are not marked
    with the |@Override| annotation. Annotating overridden methods
    with |@Override| ensures at compile time that the method really
    overrides one, which helps refactoring and clarifies intent.
  * The new Java
    rule `UnnecessaryAnnotationValueElement` (category |codestyle|)
    detects annotations with a single element (|value|) that explicitely
    names it. That is, doing |@SuppressWarnings(value =
    "unchecked")| would be flagged in favor
    of |@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")|.
  * The new Java rule `ControlStatementBraces` (category |codestyle|)
    enforces the presence of braces on control statements where they are
    optional. Properties allow to customize which statements are
    required to have braces. This rule replaces the now deprecated
    rules |WhileLoopMustUseBraces|, |ForLoopMustUseBraces|,|IfStmtMustUseBraces|,
    and |IfElseStmtMustUseBraces|. More than covering the use cases of
    those rules, this rule also supports |do ... while| statements
    and |case| labels of |switch| statements (disabled by default).


        Modified Rules

  * The Java rule |CommentContentRule| (|java-documentation|) previously
    had the property |wordsAreRegex|. But this property never had been
    implemented and is removed now.
  * The Java rule |UnusedPrivateField| (|java-bestpractices|) now has a
    new |ignoredAnnotations| property that allows to configure
    annotations that imply the field should be ignored. By
    default |@java.lang.Deprecated| and|@javafx.fxml.FXML| are ignored.
  * The Java rule |UnusedPrivateMethod| (|java-bestpractices|) now has a
    new |ignoredAnnotations| property that allows to configure
    annotations that imply the method should be ignored. By
    default |@java.lang.Deprecated| is ignored.
  * The Java rule |ImmutableField| (|java-design|) now has a
    new |ignoredAnnotations| property that allows to configure
    annotations that imply the method should be ignored. By default
    several |lombok| annotations are ignored
  * The Java rule |SingularField| (|java-design|) now has a
    new |ignoredAnnotations| property that allows to configure
    annotations that imply the method should be ignored. By default
    several |lombok| annotations are ignored


        Deprecated Rules

  * The Java
    rules |WhileLoopMustUseBraces|, |ForLoopMustUseBraces|, |IfStmtMustUseBraces|,
    and |IfElseStmtMustUseBraces|are deprecated. They will be replaced
    by the new rule |ControlStatementBraces|, in the category |codestyle|.

      API Changes

  * A new CLI switch, |-no-cache|, disables incremental analysis and the
    related suggestion. This overrides the 
    |-cache| option. The corresponding Ant task parameter is |noCache|.
  * The static
    method |PMDParameters.transformParametersIntoConfiguration(PMDParameters)| is
    now deprecated, for removal in 7.0.0. The new instance
    method |PMDParameters.toConfiguration()| replaces it.
  * The method |ASTConstructorDeclaration.getParameters()| has been
    deprecated in favor of the new method|getFormalParameters()|. This
    method is available for
    both |ASTConstructorDeclaration| and |ASTMethodDeclaration|.

Re: [pmd-devel] HELP

[Juan M. S. D. <jua...@gm...>]

Hello, and be welcomed.

If you want to have high chances of being selected, you should.

1. Have at least one or two PRs submitted and merged into the application.
This will make sure you can setup your dev environment, and give you a
minimum knowledge of how pmd's source code is organized. Easy issues for
starters can be found on the repository flagged as "good first issue"
2. Submit a high quality proposal.

A high quality proposal would:
1. Be split into stages, each of them building the project in an
incremental way. Being able to release a feature and get feedback before
gsoc has ended is highly valuable. Ideally this would match with sprints,
meaning ideally 3 to 6 stages are identified.
2. The stages would show a level of research into what is needed for the
project to be concluded, identifying what is the minimum necessary and what
the full fledged product looks like.

Please, let me know if you have any further questions. We are keen to help.

Re: [pmd-devel] Regarding open source contribution in GSoC 2018

[Juan M. S. D. <jua...@gm...>]

Hi Nikhil, be welcomed. We greatly appreciate your interest in PMD.

I've briefly reviewed your options and have a couple questions.

1. pkgcreator seems abandoned. It was a user project of Google Code (not
from Google), which seems to have never been migrated elsewhere. Getting
fixes, updates or support seems out of the question. Have you considered
this during your analysis?
2. have you considered any Maven plugins to generate deb packages? If so,
why were they discarded? There are a bunch of alternatives, and being on
Maven, which is our build system, would streamline the process; but maybe
I'm missing a downside due to lack of experience with them.

As for other platforms have you been able to research any alternatives?

[pmd-devel] Regarding open source contribution in GSoC 2018

[Nikhil S. <cre...@gm...>]

Hello,

I am Nikhil Shinde, final year UG student persuing Computer Science in Nirma University, India. Working\development on plugins and tooling sounds quite interesting and I would be quite delighted to contribute to your organization. I have successfully completed GSoC 2017 project for Checker Framework Organisation under Prof. Michael Ernst. I have quite experience in working with Java technologies\frameworks and large code bases and hope to get enough matured to deal with its issues.
For quite time I was exploring the repositories and ideas of your organization. All project ideas are interesting but I was able to catch up with the Easy installation packages project.

I am aware of the following tools that can be used for packaging in this project:
   1) google pkgcreator link
   2) GNU stow link

After trying various tools I limited my choice to above options as they provide very systematic way of packaging and does not screw up the package in the manner that violates Debian packaging.
>From above options, what can be good choice for package toolbox project ?  

It would be helpful to know expectations for these project so I can initiate on drafting proposal and discuss more about project. Looking forward to contribute.

    Thanks ,
    Nikhil Shinde.

Hi Nikhil,

welcome and thanks for your interest in PMD and GSoC 2018!

Did you see the wiki page
https://github.com/pmd/pmd/wiki/Newcomers%27-Guide ? With that, you can
prepare your local dev environment and can get a feeling, how PMD code
looks like.

Regarding the project ideas: Have you seen this wiki page?
https://github.com/pmd/pmd/wiki/Project-Ideas-%5BMature%5D There is for
each project are more detailed description. Of course, you'll probably
want to focus on one project.

For the proposal, we would like to see a (first) suggestion for
milestones and a very high-level time plan for the 12 weeks.

If there is anything unclear, don't hesitate to ask!

Regards,

Andreas

      Changes


        <https://github.com/pmd/pmd/blob/pmd_releases/6.1.0/docs/pages/release_notes.md#changes-to-the-node-interface>Changes
        to the Node interface

The method |getXPathNodeName| is added to the |Node| interface, which
removes the use of the |toString| of a node to get its XPath element
name (see #569 <https://github.com/pmd/pmd/issues/569>). A default
implementation is provided in |AbstractNode|, to stay compatible with
existing implementors.

The |toString| method of a Node is not changed for the time being, and
still produces the name of the XPath node. That behaviour may however
change in future major releases, e.g. to produce a more useful message
for debugging.


        <https://github.com/pmd/pmd/blob/pmd_releases/6.1.0/docs/pages/release_notes.md#changes-to-cpd-renderers>Changes
        to CPD renderers

The interface |net.sourceforge.pmd.cpd.Renderer| has been deprecated. A
new interface |net.sourceforge.pmd.cpd.renderer.CPDRenderer| has been
introduced to replace it. The main difference is that the new interface
is meant to render directly to a |java.io.Writer| rather than to a
String. This allows to greatly reduce the memory footprint of CPD, as on
large projects, with many duplications, it was causing
|OutOfMemoryError|s (see #795 <https://github.com/pmd/pmd/issues/795>).

|net.sourceforge.pmd.cpd.FileReporter| has also been deprecated as part
of this change, as it's no longer needed.
