<p>First of all, thanks for the contribution!</p>
<p>Happily for you, to add CPD support for a new language is now easier than ever!</p>
<div class="bs-callout bs-callout-primary"><strong>Pro Tip</strong>: If you wish to add a new language, there are more than 50 languages you could easily add with just an <a href="https://github.com/antlr/grammars-v4">Antlr grammar</a>.</div>
<p>All you need to do is follow this few steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Create a new module for your language, you can take <a href="https://github.com/pmd/pmd/tree/master/pmd-go">GO as an example</a></li>
<li>
<p>Create a Tokenizer</p>
<ul>
<li>For Antlr grammars you can take the grammar from <a href="https://github.com/antlr/grammars-v4">here</a> and extend <a href="https://github.com/pmd/pmd/blob/master/pmd-core/src/main/java/net/sourceforge/pmd/cpd/AntlrTokenizer.java">AntlrTokenizer</a> taking Go as an example</li>

</code></pre></div> </div>
<ul>
<li>For JavaCC grammars you should subclass <a href="https://github.com/pmd/pmd/blob/master/pmd-core/src/main/java/net/sourceforge/pmd/cpd/internal/JavaCCTokenizer.java">JavaCCTokenizer</a> which has many examples you could follow, you should also take the <a href="https://github.com/pmd/pmd/blob/master/pmd-python/src/main/java/net/sourceforge/pmd/cpd/PythonTokenizer.java">Python implementation</a> as reference</li>
<li>For any other scenario you can use <a href="https://github.com/pmd/pmd/blob/master/pmd-core/src/main/java/net/sourceforge/pmd/cpd/AnyTokenizer.java">AnyTokenizer</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>

<div class="bs-callout bs-callout-primary"><strong>Pro Tip</strong>: Yes, keep looking at Go!</div>
<p><strong>You are almost there!</strong></p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Update the list of supported languages</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Write the fully-qualified name of your Language class to the file <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">src/main/resources/META-INF/services/net.sourceforge.pmd.cpd.Language</code></p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Update the test that asserts the list of supported languages by updating the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES</code> constant in <a href="https://github.com/pmd/pmd/blob/master/pmd-dist/src/test/java/net/sourceforge/pmd/it/BinaryDistributionIT.java">BinaryDistributionIT</a></p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p>Please dont forget to add some test, you can again.. look at Go implementation ;)</p>
<p>If you read this far, Im keen to think you would also love to support some extra CPD configuration (ignore imports or crazy things like that) <br />
If thats your case , you came to the right place!</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>You can add your custom properties using a Token filter</p>

<p>For Antlr grammars all you need to do is implement your own <a href="https://github.com/pmd/pmd/blob/master/pmd-core/src/main/java/net/sourceforge/pmd/cpd/token/AntlrTokenFilter.java">AntlrTokenFilter</a></p>
<p>And by now, I know where you are going to look…</p>
<p><strong>WRONG</strong></p>
<p>Why do you want GO to solve all your problems?</p>
<p>You should take a look to <a href="https://github.com/pmd/pmd/blob/master/pmd-kotlin/src/main/java/net/sourceforge/pmd/cpd/KotlinTokenizer.java">Kotlin token filter implementation</a></p>
</li>
<li>
<p>For non-Antlr grammars you can use <a href="https://github.com/pmd/pmd/blob/master/pmd-core/src/main/java/net/sourceforge/pmd/cpd/token/internal/BaseTokenFilter.java">BaseTokenFilter</a> directly or take a peek to <a href="https://github.com/pmd/pmd/blob/master/pmd-java/src/main/java/net/sourceforge/pmd/cpd/JavaTokenizer.java">Javas token filter</a></p>

<h3 id="testing-your-implementation">Testing your implementation</h3>
<p>Add a Maven dependency on <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">pmd-lang-test</code> (scope <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">test</code>) in your <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">pom.xml</code>.
This contains utilities to test your Tokenizer.</p>
<p>For simple tests, create a test class extending from <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">CpdTextComparisonTest</code>.
That class is written in Kotlin, but you can extend it in Java as well.</p>
<p>To add tests, you need to write regular JUnit <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">@Test</code>-annotated methods, and
call the method <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">doTest</code> with the name of the test file.</p>
<p>For example, for the Dart language:</p>
<div class="language-java highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>
<span class="kd">public</span> <span class="kd">class</span> <span class="nc">DartTokenizerTest</span> <span class="kd">extends</span> <span class="nc">CpdTextComparisonTest</span> <span class="o">{</span>
