-
The version number of the PMD Eclipse Plugin now is synchronized with the supported and used PMD version. For Bugfixes in the PMD Eclipse Plugin only, a new version is released with the same major, minor, and patch, but a new qualifier only.
-
The minimum required Java version is Java 8.
-
The PMD Designer can't be started from within the plugin anymore. Please install PMD Designer separately when needed.

- Filtering by priority has been revamped. In both views "Violation Outline" and "Violation Overview" you can enable and disable the priorities. Changes in one view affects the other view as well as the markers displayed in the files. The selected priorities are stored in the preferences. PMD is not rerun when the priority filter is changed. The markers are only hidden instead. Changing the priority filter therefore affects the settings under General, Editors, Text Editors, Annotation for PMD Marker Annotations.

- The package
name.herlinis deprecated and will be removed with the next major version of the plugin. - PMD markers are now problem markers again. This means, that rule violations appear in the Problem View. The project property "Handle high priority violations as Eclipse errors" now works again.
- The PMD markers are now also visible on the overview ruler. They can be customized or disabled via workspace preferences, General, Editors, Text Editors, Annotations.
- In PMD's general preferences, there is a new option "Determine applicable file types automatically". This new option is enabled by default. When enabled, only the files of the languages, for which rules are active, are considered. This is a fix for bug #88.
- #54: "violationsAsErrors" is completely ineffective
- #70: UnsupportedOperationException opening Rule Configuration

- #75: Prevent UnsupportedOperationException #70 - phoenix384
- Updated PMD to 6.10.0
- Eclipse SimRel 2018-09 and 2018-12 is supported.
To do this, the plugin doesn't expose log4j for other plugins anymore.
(the package
org.apache.log4jis not exported anymore). In case you used this in a fragment, you should now use the eclipse platform logging facilities.

- Updated PMD to 6.2.0
- At least Java 1.7 is required now.
- Two new options under Preferences: "Show PMD violations overview when checking code" and "Show PMD violations outline when checking code". If these options are checked, then theses PMD views are shown automatically, when PMD check is executed for a project. This behaves similar like "Show PMD perspective", but just doesn't switch the current perspective.
- PMD is now only executed automatically, if the option "Check code after saving" is enabled. This allows to simply disable automatic PMD checks temporarily. Executing PMD via the project's context menu "Check Code" is not affected and can still be used to manually execute PMD to update the markers.

API Changes:
- The package
net.sourceforge.pmd.eclipse.core.rulesetsincluding sub-packages has been removed from the plugin. It won't export these package anymore. The purpose of this package was probably to provide a way of serializing and deserializing rulesets. As only the writer has been implemented and the reader was missing, it's not useful. If you need to read/write rulesets, use the core PMD functionality provided bynet.sourceforge.pmd.RuleSetWriter. In order to read it back, usenet.sourceforge.pmd.RuleSetFactory.
