25-April-2025 - 7.13.0-SNAPSHOT

The PMD team is pleased to announce PMD 7.13.0-SNAPSHOT.

This is a minor release.

🚀 New and noteworthy

✨ New Rules

The new Apex rule TypeShadowsBuiltInNamespace finds Apex classes, enums, and interfaces that have the same name as a class, enum, or interface in the System or Schema namespace. Shadowing these namespaces in this way can lead to confusion and unexpected behavior.

🐛 Fixed Issues

- #5623: [dist] Make pmd launch script compatible with /bin/sh
apex-errorprone
- #3184: [apex] Prevent classes from shadowing System Namespace
java
