Interfaces

Interface	Description
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.CanSuppressWarnings	This interface will be removed, the AST should not know about rules.
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.Dimensionable	Will be removed with 7.0.0. See https://github.com/pmd/pmd/issues/997 and https://github.com/pmd/pmd/issues/910
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.JavaParserConstants
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.JavaParserControllessVisitor	Visitor decorators are deprecated because they lead to fragile code.
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.JavaParserTreeConstants
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.JavaParserVisitor
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.JavaQualifiableNode	See JavaQualifiedName
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.MethodLikeNode	Lambda expressions should not be grouped with other kinds of method declarations, they have nothing in common. Giving them a qualified name is hacky and compiler-implementation-dependent. Ultimately this supertype is not useful and can go away.
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.typeresolution.typedefinition.TypeDefinition

Classes

Class	Description
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.AbstractJavaHandler	For removal, the abstraction is not useful.
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.AbstractJavaParser	For removal, the abstraction is not useful.
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.AbstractAnyTypeDeclaration
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.AbstractJavaAccessNode
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.AbstractJavaAccessTypeNode
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.AbstractJavaNode
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.AbstractJavaTypeNode
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.AbstractMethodLikeNode
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.AbstractMethodOrConstructorDeclaration
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.ASTMethodDeclarator	This node will be removed with 7.0.0. You can directly use ASTMethodDeclaration.getName(), ASTMethodDeclaration.getFormalParameters(), ASTMethodDeclaration.getArity() instead.
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.ASTRSIGNEDSHIFT	Will be removed in 7.0.0. Use ASTShiftExpression.getOperator()
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.ASTRUNSIGNEDSHIFT	Will be removed in 7.0.0. Use ASTShiftExpression.getOperator()
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.CommentUtil	This utility class is 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 node FormalComment, which contains as children JavadocElement nodes, which in turn provide access to the JavadocTag.
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.DummyJavaNode
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.DumpFacade	This class will be removed with PMD 7. The rule designer is a better way to inspect nodes.
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.JavaParser
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.JavaParserControllessVisitorAdapter	Visitor decorators are deprecated because they lead to fragile code.
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.JavaParserDecoratedVisitor	Visitor decorators are deprecated because they lead to fragile code.
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.JavaParserTokenManager
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.JavaParserVisitorDecorator	Visitor decorators are deprecated because they lead to fragile code.
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.JavaQualifiedName	This class and subclasses will be removed in PMD 7.0 for lack of usefulness. JavaQualifiedName cannot be used to represent unknown entities, because in Java source, the only thing we can observe are *canonical* names, which eg don't exist for local classes, and can be ambiguous between a member class and a package name. So you can't build a conformant JavaQualifiedName without having parsed the source file where the entity is. But since you have parsed the file, you have much better data structures than JavaQualifiedName to reflect the content of the program: you have nodes. So we can do away with this class.
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.JJTJavaParserState
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.Token

net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.metrics.impl.visitors.AtfdBaseVisitor	Is internal API, will be moved in 7.0.0

Enums

Enum	Description
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.ASTAnyTypeDeclaration.TypeKind	This is not useful, not adapted to the problem, and does not scale to changes in the Java language. The only use of this is to get a name, this can be replaced with PrettyPrintingUtil. Besides, the real problem is that enums are also classes annotations are also interfaces there are also anonymous classes in PMD 7.0, so this cannot even be used to downcast safely We can also expect new kinds of type declarations (eg records) in the future, which will force us to add new constants and aggravates the problem. Ultimately, dividing "kinds" with an enum is not adapted. Same problem with ASTAnyTypeBodyDeclaration.DeclarationKind
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.MethodLikeNode.MethodLikeKind	Same reason as for ASTAnyTypeDeclaration.TypeKind

net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.rule.AbstractJavaRule.isSuppressed(Node)	Not useful, and suppression should happen transparently to rule implementations. This will be removed with 7.0.0

The node can be any node, e.g. class declaration or field declaration.
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.rule.design.UselessOverridingMethodRule.findFirstDegreeChaildrenOfType(Node, Class<T>)	this method will be removed. Just use Node.findChildrenOfType(Class) directly.
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.rule.documentation.AbstractCommentRule.tagsIndicesIn(String)	This method is 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. A more useful solution will be added around the AST node FormalComment, which contains as children JavadocElement nodes, which in turn provide access to the JavadocTag.
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.rule.JavaRuleViolation.isSupressed(Node, Rule)	Is internal API, not useful, there's a typo. See #1927
