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.rule.ImmutableLanguage	No rule supports a change to their language. This will be made the default behaviour with PMD 7.0.0.
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.rule.RuleChainVisitor	This interface will be removed. It's only used in internal code. Language implementors no longer need to register a rulechain visitor implementation in the BaseLanguageModule constructor.
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.rule.stat.StatisticalRule	Statistical rules can be implemented much more easily with plain rules, and this framework is confusing and under-documented. All interfaces and classes related to this rule will be removed by 7.0.0. See also #483.

net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.ast.AbstractNode.getUserData()
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.ast.AbstractNode.hasDecendantOfAnyType(Class<?>...)	See AbstractNode.hasDescendantOfAnyType(Class[]) for reasons
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.ast.AbstractNode.hasDescendantOfAnyType(Class<?>...)	This is implemented inefficiently, with PMD 7 Node streams will provide a better alternative. We cannot ensure binary compatibility because the methods on 7.0 expect at least one class type, by requiring one Class parameter before the varargs (Effective Java 2nd ed., Item 42).
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.ast.AbstractNode.isSingleLine()	This is never used and is trivial, will be removed from this class.
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.ast.AbstractNode.jjtAddChild(Node, int)
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.ast.AbstractNode.jjtClose()
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.ast.AbstractNode.jjtGetChild(int)
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.ast.AbstractNode.jjtGetChildIndex()
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.ast.AbstractNode.jjtGetFirstToken()	Not all nodes are based on tokens, and this is an implementation detail
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.ast.AbstractNode.jjtGetId()	Will be made protected with 7.0.0.
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.ast.AbstractNode.jjtGetLastToken()	Not all nodes are based on tokens, and this is an implementation detail

net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.ast.AbstractNode.jjtGetParent()
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.ast.AbstractNode.jjtOpen()
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.ast.AbstractNode.jjtSetChildIndex(int)
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.ast.AbstractNode.jjtSetFirstToken(GenericToken)	This is JJTree-specific and will be removed from this superclass.
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.ast.AbstractNode.jjtSetLastToken(GenericToken)	This is JJTree-specific and will be removed from this superclass.
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.ast.AbstractNode.jjtSetParent(Node)
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.ast.AbstractNode.remove()	This is internal API
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.ast.AbstractNode.removeChildAtIndex(int)	This is internal API
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.ast.AbstractNode.setImage(String)

net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.ast.AbstractNode.testingOnlySetEndColumn(int)	This will be removed with 7.0.0
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.ast.AbstractNode.testingOnlySetEndLine(int)	This will be removed with 7.0.0
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.ast.AbstractNode.toString()	The equivalence between toString and a node's name could be broken as soon as release 7.0.0. Use getXPathNodeName for that purpose. The use for debugging purposes is not deprecated.

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.findDescendantsOfType(Class<T>, List<T>, boolean)	Use Node.findDescendantsOfType(Class, boolean) instead, which returns a result list.
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.Language.getRuleChainVisitorClass()	Will be removed in PMD 7, avoid using this

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.LanguageRegistry.findLanguageVersionByTerseName(String)	This is not useful, will be removed with 7.0.0
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.LanguageRegistry.findWithRuleSupport()	This method will be removed with PMD 7.0.0. Use LanguageRegistry.getLanguages() instead.

net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.metrics.AbstractMetricsFacade.getLanguageSpecificProjectMemoizer()
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

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.

net.sourceforge.pmd.Rule.getParserOptions()	This was never implemented and will never be. PMD cannot parse files once per rule. Let this method assume its default by not overriding it.
net.sourceforge.pmd.Rule.isDfa()	Optional AST processing stages will be reified in 7.0.0 to factorise common logic. This method and the similar methods will be removed.
