New and noteworthy

Lua 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 Lua.

Being based on a proper Antlr grammar, CPD can:

• ignore comments
• honor comment-based suppressions

Modified Rules

• The Java rule {% rule "java/errorprone/CloseResource" %} [java-errorprone] now ignores by default java.io.ByteArrayInputStream. Such streams do not need to be closed.

• The Java rule {% rule "java/errorprone/MissingStaticMethodInNonInstantiatableClass" %} (java-errorprone) has now the new property annotations. When one of the private constructors is annotated with one of the annotations, then the class is not considered non-instantiatable anymore and no violation will be reported. By default, Spring's @Autowired and Java EE's @Inject annotations are recognized.
