PMD 5.5.0 (25-June-2016)

25-June-2016 - 5.5.0

System requirements:

PMD and CPD need at least a java7 runtime environment. For analyzing Salesforce.com Apex source code,
you'll need a java8 runtime environment.

New Supported Languages:

  • Salesforce.com Apex is now supported by PMD and CPD. See PR#86.
  • CPD now supports Perl. See PR#82.
  • CPD now supports Swift. See PR#33.

New and modified Rules:

  • New rules in Java:
  • java-logging-java/InvalidSlf4jMessageFormat: Check for invalid message format in slf4j loggers.
    See PR#73.
  • java-design/ConstantsInInterface: Avoid constants in interfaces.
    Interfaces should define types, constants are implementation details
    better placed in classes or enums. See Effective Java, item 19.
    See PR#93.
  • Modified rules in Java:
  • java-comments/CommentRequired: New property serialVersionUIDCommentRequired which controls the comment requirements
    for serialVersionUID fields. By default, no comment is required for this field.
  • java-design/UseVargs: public static void main method is ignored now and so are methods, that are annotated
    with Override. See PR#79.
  • New rules for Salesforce.com Apex:
  • apex-complexity: AvoidDeeplyNestedIfStmts, ExcessiveParameterList, ExcessiveClassLength,
    NcssMethodCount, NcssTypeCount, NcssConstructorCount, StdCyclomaticComplexity,
    TooManyFields, ExcessivePublicCount
  • apex-performance: AvoidDmlStatementsInLoops, AvoidSoqlInLoops
  • apex-style: VariableNamingConventions, MethodNamingConventions, ClassNamingConventions,
    MethodWithSameNameAsEnclosingClass, AvoidLogicInTrigger, AvoidGlobalModifier
  • Javascript
  • New Rule: ecmascript-unnecessary/NoElseReturn: The else block in a if-else-construct is
    unnecessary if the if block contains a return. Then the content of the else block can be
    put outside. See #1486.

Improvements and CLI changes:

  • A JSON-renderer for PMD which is compatible with CodeClimate. See PR#83.
  • #1360: [core] [java] Provide backwards compatibility for PMD configuration file
  • CPD: If a complete filename is specified, the language dependent filename filter is not applied. This allows
    to scan files, that are not using the standard file extension. If a directory is specified, the filename filter
    is still applied and only those files with the correct file extension of the language are scanned.
  • CPD: If no problems found, an empty report will be output instead of nothing. See also #1481
  • CPD: New command line parameter --ignore-usings: Ignore using directives in C# when comparing text.
  • PMD: New command line parameter: -norulesetcompatibility - this disables the ruleset factory
    compatibility filter and fails, if e.g. an old rule name is used in the ruleset.
    See also #1360.
    This option is also available for the ant task: <noRuleSetCompatibility>true</noRuleSetCompatibility>.
  • PMD: New command line parameter: -filelist- this provides an alternative way to define, which
    files should be process by PMD. With this option, you can provide the path to a single file containing a comma
    delimited list of files to analyze. If this is given, then you don't need to provide -dir.
    See PR#98.

Pull Requests:

  • #25: [cs] Added option to exclude C# using directives from CPD analysis
  • #27: [cpp] Added support for Raw String Literals (C++11).
  • [#29)(https://github.com/adangel/pull/29): [jsp] Added support for files with UTF-8 BOM to JSP tokenizer.

PMD 5.4.0 (04-October-2015)

04-October-2015 - 5.4.0

Note: PMD 5.4.0 requires JDK 1.7 or above.

Summary:

  • 9 new rules
  • 4 features requests
  • 18 pull requests

Feature Request and Improvements:

  • #1344: AbstractNaming should check reverse
  • #1361: ShortVariable and ShortMethodName configuration
  • #1414: Command line parameter to disable "failOnViolation" behavior
    PMD and CPD Command Line Interfaces have a new optional parameter: failOnViolation. Executing PMD with the option
    -failOnViolation false will perform the PMD checks but won't fail the build and still exit with status 0.
    This is useful if you only want to generate the report with violations but don't want to fail your build.
  • #1420: UnusedPrivateField: Ignore fields if using lombok

New Rules:

  • Java:
  • Basic: SimplifiedTernary (rulesets/java/basic.xml/SimplifiedTernary)

    Ternary operator with a boolean literal can be simplified with a boolean
    expression.
  • Clone: CloneMethodMustBePublic (rulesets/java/clone.xml/CloneMethodMustBePublic)

    The java manual says "By convention,
    classes that implement the Cloneable interface should override Object.clone (which is protected)
    with a public method."
  • Clone: CloneMethodReturnTypeMustMatchClassName (rulesets/java/clone.xml/CloneMethodReturnTypeMustMatchClassName)

    If a class implements Cloneable
    the return type of the method clone() must be the class name.
  • Comments: CommentDefaultAccessModifier (rulesets/java/comments.xml/CommentDefaultAccessModifier)

    In order to avoid mistakes with
    forgotten access modifiers for methods, this rule ensures, that you explicitly mark the usage of the
    default access modifier by placing a comment.
  • Design: SingletonClassReturningNewInstance (rulesets/java/design.xml/SingletonClassReturningNewInstance)

    Verifies that the method called getInstance returns a cached instance and not always a fresh, new instance.
  • Design: SingleMethodRule (rulesets/java/design.xml/SingleMethodSingletonRule)

    Verifies that there is only one method called
    getInstance. If there are more methods that return the singleton, then it can easily happen, that these
    are not the same instances - and thus no singleton.
  • Unnecessary: UselessQualifiedThis (rulesets/java/unnecessary.xml/UselessQualifiedThis)

    Flags unnecessary qualified usages
    of this, when this alone would be unique. E.g. use just this instead of Foo.this.
  • Maven POM: (The rules can be found in the pmd-xml module)
  • Basic: ProjectVersionAsDependencyVersion (rulesets/pom/basic.xml/ProjectVersionAsDependencyVersion)

    Checks the usage of ${project.version} in Maven POM files.
  • Basic: InvalidDependencyTypes (rulesets/pom/basic.xml/InvalidDependencyTypes)

    Verifies that only the default types (jar, war, ...) for dependencies are used.

Ruleset snippet to activate the new rules:

<rule ref="rulesets/java/basic.xml/SimplifiedTernary"/>
<rule ref="rulesets/java/clone.xml/CloneMethodReturnTypeMustMatchClassName"/>
<rule ref="rulesets/java/clone.xml/CloneMethodMustBePublic"/>
<rule ref="rulesets/java/comments.xml/CommentDefaultAccessModifier"/>
<rule ref="rulesets/java/design.xml/SingleMethodSingleton"/>
<rule ref="rulesets/java/design.xml/SingletonClassReturningNewInstance"/>
<rule ref="rulesets/java/unnecessary.xml/UselessQualifiedThis"/>

<rule ref="rulesets/pom/basic.xml/ProjectVersionAsDependencyVersion"/>
<rule ref="rulesets/pom/basic.xml/InvalidDependencyTypes"/>

Modified Rules:

  • Java
  • Basic: CheckResultSet (rulesets/java/basic.xml/CheckResultSet)

    Do not require to check the result of a navigation method, if it is returned.
  • JUnit: UseAssertTrueInsteadOfAssertEquals (rulesets/java/junit.xml/UseAssertTrueInsteadOfAssertEquals)

    This rule also flags assertEquals, that use Boolean.TRUE/FALSE constants.
  • Naming: AbstractNaming (rulesets/java/naming.xml/AbstractNaming)

    By default, this rule flags now classes,
    that are named "Abstract" but are not abstract. This behavior can be disabled by setting
    the new property strict to false.
  • Naming: ShortMethodName (rulesets/java/naming.xml/ShortMethodName)

    Additional property minimum to configure the minimum required length of a method name.
  • Naming: ShortVariable (rulesets/java/naming.xml/ShortVariable)

    Additional property minimum to configure the minimum required length of a variable name.
  • UnusedCode: UnusedPrivateField (rulesets/java/unusedcode.xml/UnusedPrivateField)

    This rule won't trigger anymore if Lombok is in use.
    See #1420.

Renamed Rules:

  • Java
  • Design: UseSingleton - UseUtilityClass (rulesets/java/design.xml/UseUtilityClass)

    The rule "UseSingleton" has been renamed to "UseUtilityClass".
    See also bugs #1059 and #1339.

Removed Rules:

  • Java
  • Basic: The following rules of ruleset "Basic" were marked as deprecated and are removed with this release now:



    EmptyCatchBlock, EmptyIfStatement, EmptyWhileStmt, EmptyTryBlock, EmptyFinallyBlock, EmptySwitchStatements, EmptySynchronizedBlock, EmptyStatementNotInLoop, EmptyInitializer, EmptyStatementBlock, EmptyStaticInitializer



    UnnecessaryConversionTemporary, UnnecessaryReturn, UnnecessaryFinalModifier, UselessOverridingMethod, UselessOperationOnImmutable, UnusedNullCheckInEquals, UselessParentheses



    These rules are still available in the rulesets "Empty" (rulesets/java/empty.xml) and
    "Unnecessary" (rulesets/java/unnecessary.xml) respectively.
  • Design: The rule "UncommentedEmptyMethod" has been renamed last release to "UncommentedEmptyMethodBody". The
    old rule name reference has been removed with this release now.
  • Controversial: The rule "BooleanInversion" has been deprecated last release
    and has been removed with this release completely.

API Changes:

  • pmd requires now JDK 1.7 or above.
  • pmd-core: net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.symboltable.Scope:

The method addNameOccurrence returns now a Set of
NameDeclarations to which the given occurrence has been added. This is useful in case there are ambiguous declarations
of methods.

Modified Rules:

    or not.
