New and noteworthy

Modified rules

• The Java rule {% rule java/bestpractices/UnusedPrivateField %} has a new property reportForAnnotations. This is a list of fully qualified names of the annotation types that should be reported anyway. If an unused field has any of these annotations, then it is reported. If it has any other annotation, then it is still considered to be used and is not reported.

Deprecated rules

• The Java rules {% rule java/design/ExcessiveClassLength %} and {% rule java/design/ExcessiveMethodLength %} have been deprecated. The rule {% rule java/design/NcssCount %} can be used instead. The deprecated rules will be removed with PMD 7.0.0.

• The Java rule {% rule java/errorprone/EmptyStatementNotInLoop %} is deprecated. Use the rule {% rule java/codestyle/UnnecessarySemicolon %} instead. Note: Actually it was announced to be deprecated since 6.46.0 but the rule was not marked as deprecated yet. This has been done now.
