7.15.0 Jul 23, 2025 New Release New and noteworthy:
New Rules:
The new Apex rule AvoidBooleanMethodParameters finds methods that take a
boolean parameter. This can make method calls difficult to understand and maintain as the method is clearly
doing two things.
Fixed Issues:

7.14.0 Jun 18, 2025 New Release New and noteworthy:
PMD CLI now uses threaded execution by default:
In the PMD CLI, the --threads (-t) option can now accept a thread count given relative to the number of cores of the machine. For instance, it is now possible to write -t 1C to spawn one thread per core, or -t 0.5C to spawn one thread for every other core.
The thread count option now defaults to 1C, meaning parallel execution is used by default. You can disable this by using -t 1.
New Rule UnnecessaryWarningSuppression (experimental) ???
This new Java rule UnnecessaryWarningSuppression reports unused suppression annotations and comments. Violations of this rule cannot be suppressed.
How to use it? Just include it in your ruleset:
<rule ref="category/java/bestpractices.xml/UnnecessaryWarningSuppression" />
Note: This rule is currently experimental. It is available for now only for Java. The rule for now only reports annotations specific to PMD, like @SuppressWarnings("PMD"). In the future we might be able to check for other common ones like @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") or "fallthrough". Since violations of this rule cannot be suppressed, we opted here on the side of false-negatives and don’t report every unused case yet. However, suppressing specific PMD rules is working as expected.
Migrating to Central Publisher Portal:
We’ve now migrated to Central Publisher Portal. Snapshots of PMD are still available, however the repository URL changed. To consume these with maven, you can use the following snippet:
<repositories>
<repository>
<name>Central Portal Snapshots</name>
<id>central-portal-snapshots</id>
<url>https://central.sonatype.com/repository/maven-snapshots/</url>
<releases>
<enabled>false</enabled>
