24-October-2020 - 6.29.0

The PMD team is pleased to announce PMD 6.29.0.

This is a minor release.

New and noteworthy

Updated Apex Support

New Rules

  • The new Apex rule OperationWithLimitsInLoop (apex-performance) finds operations in loops that may hit governor limits such as DML operations, SOQL queries and more. The rule replaces the three rules “AvoidDmlStatementsInLoops”, “AvoidSoqlInLoops”, and “AvoidSoslInLoops”.

Renamed Rules

  • The Java rule DoNotCallSystemExit has been renamed to DoNotTerminateVM, since it checks for all the following calls: System.exit(int), Runtime.exit(int), Runtime.halt(int). All these calls terminate the Java VM, which is bad, if the VM runs an application server which many independent applications.
