10 April 2023


A new PMD for Eclipse plugin version has been released. It is available via the update site: https://pmd.github.io/pmd-eclipse-plugin-p2-site/

This is a release candidate for the next major release.

New and noteworthy

  • Beginning with version 7 of this plugin, only the last four eclipse releases are supported. The plugin might still work with older versions, but it’s only developed and tested against the newer versions.

  • 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.
