CPD Suppression for Antlr-based languages

ITBA students Matías Fraga, Tomi De Lucca and Lucas Soncini keep working on bringing full Antlr support to PMD. For this release, they have implemented token filtering in an equivalent way as we did for JavaCC languages, adding support for CPD suppressions through CPD-OFF and CPD-ON comments for all Antlr-based languages.

This means, you can now ignore arbitrary blocks of code on:

  • Go
  • Kotlin
  • Swift

Simply start the suppression with any comment (single or multiline) containing CPD-OFF, and resume again with a comment containing CPD-ON.

More information is available in the user documentation.

New Rules

  • The new Java rule UseTryWithResources (apex-codestyle) has a new property skipTestMethodUnderscores, which is by default disabled. The new property allows for ignoring all test methods, either using the testMethod modifier or simply annotating them @isTest.
