net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.DataFlowHandler	See DataFlowNode
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.dfa.DataFlowNode	The data flow codebase will be removed in PMD 7. The feature is unreliable, hard to use, and the implementation is unmaintainable. See https://github.com/pmd/pmd/issues/2647

net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.ast.AbstractTokenManager.setFileName(String)	For removal in 7.0.0

net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.ast.JavaCharStream.getColumn()
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.ast.JavaCharStream.getLine()
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.ast.Node.findChildNodesWithXPath(String)	This is very inefficient and should not be used in new code. PMD 7.0.0 will remove support for this method.

net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.ast.Node.getAsDocument()	Converting a tree to a DOM is not a standard use case. The implementation rethrows a ParserConfigurationException as a RuntimeException, but a caller should handle it if he really wants to do this. Another problem is that this is available on any node, yet only the root node of a tree corresponds really to a document. The conversion is easy to implement anyway, and does not have to be part of this API.
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.ast.Node.getDataFlowNode()	This is Java-specific and will be removed from this interface
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.ast.Node.getFirstParentOfAnyType(Class<? extends T>...)	This method causes an unchecked warning at call sites. PMD 7 will provide a way to do the same thing without the warning.

net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.LanguageRegistry.commaSeparatedTerseNamesForLanguage(List<Language>)	This is too specific, will be removed with 7.0.0
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.LanguageRegistry.commaSeparatedTerseNamesForLanguageVersion(List<LanguageVersion>)	This is too specific, will be removed with 7.0.0
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.LanguageRegistry.findAllVersions()	This is not useful, will be removed with 7.0.0

net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.metrics.MetricsUtil.computeMetricOrNaN(MetricKey<? super N>, N, MetricOptions)	This is provided for compatibility with pre 6.21.0 behavior. Users of a metric should always check beforehand if the metric supports the argument.
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.Parser.canParse()	With 7.0.0, all parsers will be able to parse and this method will be removed. Note that in the meantime, you probably still need to check this method.
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.Parser.getParserOptions()	Parser options should be a parameter to Parser.parse(String, Reader)
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.Parser.getSuppressMap()	With 7.0.0, this method will be removed. To support suppressing with suppress markers, this method is still needed in PMD 6.
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.Parser.getTokenManager(String, Reader)	For removal in 7.0.0
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.rule.AbstractDelegateRule.setRule(Rule)	This will be removed in 7.0.0 I mark it specially deprecated because it's inherited by rule reference, even though a RuleReference has no business setting its rule after construction

net.sourceforge.pmd.PMD.processFiles(PMDConfiguration, RuleSetFactory, List<DataSource>, RuleContext, List<Renderer>)	Use PMD.processFiles(PMDConfiguration, List, Collection, List) so as not to depend on RuleSetFactory. Note that this sorts the list of data sources in-place, which won't be fixed
net.sourceforge.pmd.processor.AbstractPMDProcessor.filenameFrom(DataSource)	this method will be removed. It was once used to determine a short filename for the file being analyzed, so that shortnames can be reported. But the logic has been moved to the renderers.

net.sourceforge.pmd.properties.PropertyDescriptor.asDelimitedString(T)	PMD 7.0.0 will use a more powerful scheme to represent values than simple strings, this method won't be general enough

net.sourceforge.pmd.properties.PropertyDescriptor.uiOrder()	This method confuses the presentation layer and the business logic. The order of the property in a UI is irrelevant to the functioning of the property in PMD. With PMD 7.0.0, this method will be removed. UI and documentation tools will decide on their own convention.
