Class PMD

  • @Deprecated
public class PMD
extends Object
    Deprecated.
    This class is to be removed in PMD 7 in favor of a unified PmdCli entry point. PmdAnalysis should be used for non-CLI use-cases.
    Entry point for PMD's CLI. Use runPmd(PMDConfiguration) or runPmd(String...) to mimic a CLI run. This class is not a supported programmatic API anymore, use PmdAnalysis for fine control over the PMD integration and execution.

    Warning: This class is not intended to be instantiated or subclassed. It will be made final in PMD7.

        Just use the static methods, and maintain your PMDConfiguration separately.
        Create a PMD instance using a default Configuration. Changes to the configuration may be required.

        @Deprecated
public PMD​(PMDConfiguration configuration)
        Deprecated.
        Just use the static methods, and maintain your PMDConfiguration separately.

      • parserFor

        @Deprecated
@InternalApi
public static Parser parserFor​(LanguageVersion languageVersion,
                               PMDConfiguration configuration)
        Deprecated.
        This is internal
        Helper method to get a configured parser for the requested language. The parser is configured based on the given PMDConfiguration.
        Parameters:
        languageVersion - the requested language
        configuration - the given configuration
        Returns:
        the pre-configured parser

      • getConfiguration

        @Deprecated
public PMDConfiguration getConfiguration()
        Deprecated.
        Don't create a PMD instance just to create a PMDConfiguration
        Get the runtime configuration. The configuration can be modified to affect how PMD behaves.
        Returns:
        The configuration.

      • getSourceCodeProcessor

        @Deprecated
public SourceCodeProcessor getSourceCodeProcessor()
        Deprecated.
        Source code processor is internal
        Gets the source code processor.
        Returns:
        SourceCodeProcessor

      • doPMD

        @Deprecated
@InternalApi
public static int doPMD​(PMDConfiguration configuration)
        Deprecated.
        Use runPmd(PMDConfiguration). Note that the return value of doPMD changed in PMD 6.44.0 to return -1 in case of error. Previously zero was returned in that case.
        This method is the main entry point for command line usage.
        Parameters:
        configuration - the configuration to use
        Returns:
        number of violations found. Returns -1 in case of error.

        Deprecated.
        Not useful
        Creates a new rule context, initialized with a new, empty report.
        Parameters:
        sourceCodeFilename - the source code filename
        sourceCodeFile - the source code file
        Returns:
        the rule context

        Deprecated.
        Use PmdAnalysis
        Run PMD using the given configuration. This replaces the other overload.
        Parameters:
        configuration - Configuration for the run. Note that the files, and rulesets, are ignored, as they are supplied as parameters
        rulesets - Parsed rulesets
