 TODO - Release blockers - Must implement before this release can be finished
 
    CODE:
+   o PropertyDescriptor final tasks:
+      - Find some way to have them appear in the online documentation for the rules
+        that have them. Ideally we want to ensure we define them in one place only.
+      - Report renderers now inherit from PropertySource so we should migrate the
+        old-style property references to use the new style. Ensure we remain 
+        compatible with the online arguments that get passed in.
+      - Use the new dysfunctionReason method to invalidate misconfigured rules and 
+        reports that could be used by PMD at runtime. Ensure user is notified which
+        is disabled and why. 
    o Get Eclipse integration working with multiple languages, make sure there's
      no major problems before we put the core release.
    o Some cleanup needs to be done on the PMD class.
