Classes

Class	Description
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.SyntacticJavaTokenizerFactory	This implementation has been superseded. It is not necessary to parse Java code in order to tokenize it.
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.rule.bestpractices.JUnitAssertionsShouldIncludeMessageRule	The rule was renamed UnitTestAssertionsShouldIncludeMessageRule
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.rule.bestpractices.JUnitTestContainsTooManyAssertsRule	The rule was renamed UnitTestContainsTooManyAssertsRule
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.rule.bestpractices.JUnitTestsShouldIncludeAssertRule	The rule was renamed UnitTestShouldIncludeAssertRule

Fields

Field	Description
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.metrics.JavaMetrics.NPATH	Since 7.14.0. Use JavaMetrics.NPATH_COMP, which is available on more nodes, and uses Long instead of BigInteger.

Methods

Method	Description
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.ASTClassDeclaration.getPermittedSubclasses()	Use ASTTypeDeclaration.getPermitsClause() or JClassSymbol.getPermittedSubtypes()
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.ASTCompactConstructorDeclaration.getDeclarationNode()	Since 7.14.0. This method just returns `this` and isn't useful.
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.ASTFieldDeclaration.getVariableName()	FieldDeclaration may declare several variables, so this is not exhaustive Iterate on the VariableIds instead
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.ASTLambdaExpression.getBlock()	Use ASTLambdaExpression.getBlockBody()
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.ASTLambdaExpression.getExpression()	Use ASTLambdaExpression.getExpressionBody()
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.ASTNumericLiteral.buildConstValue()	Since 7.12.0. See super method. This override is needed due to covariant return type change.
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.ASTRecordPattern.getVarId()	This method was added here by mistake. Record patterns don't declare a pattern variable for the whole pattern, but rather for individual record components, which can be accessed via ASTRecordPattern.getComponentPatterns().
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.ASTResource.getStableName()	Since 7.1.0. This method is not very useful because the expression might be complex and not have a real "name". In this case we return the expression pretty printed.
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.ASTStringLiteral.buildConstValue()	Since 7.12.0. See super method. This override is needed due to covariant return type change.
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.SyntacticJavaTokenizerFactory.createTokenizer(CharStream)
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.rule.design.SingularFieldRule.mayBeSingular(ModifierOwner)	This method will be removed. Don't use it.
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.types.JTypeVar.withUpperBound(JTypeMirror)	Since 7.12.0. There is no real use case for mutating the upper bound. Also, the bound could have been changed to really anything, which means it wasn't necessarily correct for two of those type vars to compare equals.
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.types.TypeOps.isContextDependent(JMethodSig)	Since 7.11.0. Use TypeOps.isContextDependent(JExecutableSymbol) instead which is more flexible.
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.types.TypeOps.isConvertible(JTypeMirror, JTypeMirror, boolean)
