New and noteworthy

Dart support

Thanks to the contribution from Maikel Steneker, and built on top of the ongoing efforts to fully support Antlr-based languages, PMD now has CPD support for Dart.

Being based on a proper Antlr grammar, CPD can:

• ignore comments
• ignore imports / libraries
• honor comment-based suppressions

Modified Rules

• The Java rule {% rule "java/errorprone/AssignmentToNonFinalStatic" %} (java-errorprone) will now report on each assignment made within a constructor rather than on the field declaration. This makes it easier for developers to find the offending statements.

• The Java rule {% rule "java/codestyle/NoPackage" %} (java-codestyle) will now report additionally enums and annotations that do not have a package declaration.

Fixed Issues

• go
  • #1751: [go] Parsing errors encountered with escaped backslash
• java
  • #1729: [java] JavaRuleViolation loses information in className field when class has package-private access level
• java-bestpractices
  • #1720: [java] UnusedImports false positive for Javadoc link with array type
• java-codestyle
  • #1782: [java] NoPackage: False Negative for enums
• java-design
  • #1760: [java] UseObjectForClearerAPI flags private methods
