New and noteworthy

CLI improvements

The PMD CLI now allows repeating the --dir (-d) and --rulesets (-R) options, as well as providing several space-separated arguments to either of them. For instance:

pmd -d src/main/java src/test/java -R rset1.xml -R rset2.xml

This also allows globs to be used on the CLI if your shell supports shell expansion. For instance, the above can be written

pmd -d src/*/java -R rset*.xml

Please use theses new forms instead of using comma-separated lists as argument to these options.

API Changes
