Additional information about the new introduced rule categories
With the release of PMD 6.0.0, all rules have been sorted into one of the following eight categories:
Best Practices: These are rules which enforce generally accepted best practices.
Code Style: These rules enforce a specific coding style.
Design: Rules that help you discover design issues.
Documentation: These rules are related to code documentation.
Error Prone: Rules to detect constructs that are either broken, extremely confusing or prone to runtime errors.
Multithreading: These are rules that flag issues when dealing with multiple threads of execution.
Performance: Rules that flag suboptimal code.
Security: Rules that flag potential security flaws.
Please note, that not every category in every language may have a rule. There might be categories with no
rules at all, such as category/java/security.xml, which has currently no rules.
There are even languages, which only have rules of one category (e.g. category/xml/errorprone.xml).
You can find the information about available rules in the generated rule documentation, available
at https://pmd.github.io/6.0.1/.
In order to help migrate to the new category scheme, the new name for the old, deprecated rule names will
be logged as a warning. See PR #865. Please note, that the deprecated
rule names will keep working throughout PMD 6. You can upgrade to PMD 6 without the immediate need
to migrate your current ruleset. That backwards compatibility will be maintained until PMD 7.0.0 is released.
