< p > Raik Schroeder, a graduate student at < a href = "http://www.fh-stralsund.de/" > Fachhochschule Stralsund< / a > has written a DFA layer that should enable
us to write some more complicated rules - stuff like common subexpression elimination, loop invariant code motion
(and code hoisting suggestions), shrink wrapping, and partial redundancy elimination. The code is currently in the < code class = "language-plaintext highlighter-rouge" > net.sourceforge.pmd.dfa< / code > packages, and we’
that use it. We should be able to use it to simplify some current rules, as well.< / p >

< ul >
< li > Enhance Rule Designer to allow testing of the violation suppress Regex and XPath.< / li >
< li > Remove the type resolution specific rules. Merge these back into the
standard rules. In general, a Rule should use TR when it can, and fall
back on non-TR approach otherwise. No need for separate Rules for TR/non-TR.< / li >
< li > Reconcile the util.designer and util.viewer packages. Two versions of the
same thing. Designer is more up to date, but Viewer has a nice MVC design.< / li >
< li > Need a JUnit test to check for “dead” Rules, that is those not used by any RuleSet.< / li >
< li > Rule JUnit tests should verify the Test class follows expected naming
conventions just like the Rules need to.< / li >
< li > Do we have a rule to style check for multiple declarations and chained
assignments? (e.g. int a, b; int a = b = x;)< / li >
< / ul >
< p > < strong > These are food for thought, perhaps future items. If you think you’
work on one of these, check with pmd-devel to see what the current thoughts
on the topic.< / strong > < / p >
< ul >
< li >
< p > CPD needs work on use of Language. It currently is hardcoded to only
handled Java 1.4. Integrate CPD needs into core PMD where appropriate.
Otherwise, drive CPD behavior based off of core PMD, instead of duplicating
some logic.< / p >
< / li >
< li >
< p > Need a more flexible and powerful scheme for classifying files to various
Languages. At a minimum, should have the ability to specify which
file extensions you want to be used for a language (e.g. not everyone uses
.jsp for JSP extensions, some use .jspx, .xhtml, etc.). Also, consider
hooks into the LanguageVersionDiscoverer process for classifying a
File/String to a LanguageVersion of a specific Language, one could imaging
using a ‘ ’
apart based on actual content.< / p >
< / li >
< li >
< p > Should we change Node interface to something like ‘ < T extends Node< T> > ’
and then declare the language specific node interfaces to be something like
‘ < JavaNode> ’
interface to return the language specific node type instead of generic
node. For example, ASTStatement.jjtGetParent() to return a JavaNode,
instead of a Node. This is a rather huge change, as the Node interface is
one of the pervasive things in the PMD code base. Is the extra work of using
the Node interface with properly with generics, worth the omission of
occasional some casting?< / p >
< / li >
< li >
< p > Should multiple Languages be able to claim a single source file? Imagine
XML format JSP file, for which you’
XML rules. Stating that certain XML rules also can map to the JSP language
extensions could be useful. This means Source file to LanguageVersion
mapping is not 1-1, but 1-many, we’ < / p >

< p > Additional changes to Rule organization within RuleSets as discussed on
< a href = "http://sourceforge.net/p/pmd/discussion/188194/thread/b840897c" > this forum thread< / a > .< / p >
< / li >
< li >
< p > Figure out a way to allow Rules to deal with parentheses and blocks, which
introduce certain repetitive (and generally ignorable for most Rules)
structures into the AST tree. Some rules are making special effort
(e.g. ConfusingTernaryRule) to detect these AST patterns. Perhaps a
“normalized” AST structure can be created which will make the AST appear
consistent regardless of how many parens are presented, or how many blocks
have been created (e.g. default block inserted, duplicates collapsed).
This should be configurable on per Rule basis similar to TR and SymbolTable.< / p >
