apex
- #4096: [apex] ApexAssertionsShouldIncludeMessage and ApexUnitTestClassShouldHaveAsserts: support new Assert class (introduced with Apex v56.0)
core
- #3970: [core] FileCollector.addFile ignores language parameter
java-codestyle
- #4082: [java] UnnecessaryImport false positive for on-demand imports of nested classes

In order to reduce the dependency on Apex Jorje classes, the following methods have been deprecated. These methods all leaked internal Jorje enums. These enums have been replaced now by enums the PMD’s AST package.
All these classes have now a new getOp() method. Existing code should be refactored to use this method instead. It returns the new enums, like AssignmentOperator, and avoids the dependency to Jorje.
