  • All Known Implementing Classes:
    AbstractLanguageVersionHandler
    public interface LanguageVersionHandler
    Interface for obtaining the classes necessary for checking source files of a specific language. Note: "façade" getters like getSymbolFacade() will be removed with 7.0.0 and replaced with a more extensible mechanism. They're now deprecated. See also https://github.com/pmd/pmd/pull/1426
