Fixed Issues

• all
  • #1318: [test] Kotlin DSL to ease test writing

API Changes

• Several classes and interfaces from the properties framework are now deprecated and will be removed with 7.0.0.
  • MethodProperty, FloatProperty, FileProperty, TypeProperty and their multi-valued counterparts are discontinued for lack of a use-case, and will probably not be replaced with 7.0.0. Users of FloatProperty should consider using a DoubleProperty.
  • EnumeratedPropertyDescriptor, NumericPropertyDescriptor, PackagedPropertyDescriptor, and the related builders (in net.sourceforge.pmd.properties.builders) will be removed. In the future, these interfaces won't be around but their functionality will, under another form. The related methods PropertyTypeId#isPropertyNumeric and PropertyTypeId#isPropertyPackaged are also deprecated.
  • All classes of net.sourceforge.pmd.properties.modules are deprecated and will be removed. They were never intended as public api.
  • The classes PropertyDescriptorField, PropertyDescriptorBuilderConversionWrapper, and the methods PropertyDescriptor#attributeValuesById, PropertyDescriptor#isDefinedExternally and PropertyTypeId#getFactory are deprecated with no intended replacement. These were used to read and write properties to and from XML, and were never intended as public API.
  • The class ValueParserConstants is deprecated with no intended replacement, it was not intended as public API.
  • The method PropertyDescriptor#preferredRowCount is deprecated with no intended replacement. It was never implemented, and does not belong in this interface.
