This is a minor release.

Table Of Contents

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.
