PMD 7.4.0 released

26 July 2024

26-July-2024 - 7.4.0

The PMD team is pleased to announce PMD 7.4.0.

This is a minor release.

The new Apex rule AvoidNonRestrictiveQueries finds SOQL and SOSL queries without a where or limit statement. This can quickly cause governor limit exceptions.

ClassNamingConventions (Apex Codestyle): Two new properties to configure different patterns for inner classes and interfaces: innerClassPattern and innerInterfacePattern.

InaccurateNumericLiteral (JavaScript Error Prone) has been renamed from InnaccurateNumericLiteral. The old rule name still works but is deprecated.
