🚀 New and noteworthy

✨ New Rules

• The new Java rule UseEnumCollections reports usages for HashSet and HashMap when the keys are of an enum type. The specialized enum collections are more space- and time-efficient.

💥 pmd-compat6 removed (breaking)

The already deprecated PMD 6 compatibility module (pmd-compat6) has been removed. It was intended to be used with older versions of the maven-pmd-plugin, but since maven-pmd-plugin 3.22.0, PMD 7 is supported directly and this module is not needed anymore.

If you currently use this dependency (net.sourceforge.pmd:pmd-compat6), remove it and upgrade maven-pmd-plugin to the latest version (3.23.0 or newer).

See also Maven PMD Plugin.
