PMD Release Notes

Edit me

29-January-2022 - 6.42.0-SNAPSHOT

The PMD team is pleased to announce PMD 6.42.0-SNAPSHOT.

This is a minor release.

New and noteworthy

Modified rules

The Apex rule ApexDoc has a new property reportProperty. If set to false (default is true if unspecified) doesn’t report missing ApexDoc comments on properties. It allows you to enforce ApexDoc comments for classes and methods without requiring them for properties.
