PMD 6.34.0 released

24 April 2021

24-April-2021 - 6.34.0

The PMD team is pleased to announce PMD 6.34.0.

This is a minor release.

The new Java rule UseStandardCharsets finds usages of Charset.forName, where StandardCharsets can be used instead.

This rule is also part of the Quickstart Ruleset (rulesets/java/quickstart.xml) for Java.
The new Java rule UnnecessaryImport replaces the rules UnusedImports, DuplicateImports, ImportFromSamePackage, and DontImportJavaLang.

This rule is also part of the Quickstart Ruleset (rulesets/java/quickstart.xml) for Java.

The Apex rule ApexCRUDViolation does not ignore getters anymore and also flags SOQL/SOSL/DML operations without access permission checks in getters. This will produce false positives now for VF getter methods, but we can’t reliably detect, whether a getter is a VF getter or not. In such cases, the violation should be suppressed.
