Unreleased

New Git default branch - "main"

We are joining the Git community and updating "master" to "main". Using the term "master" for the main development branch can be offensive to some people. Existing versions of Git have been always capable of working with any branch name and since 2.28.0 (July 2020) the default initial branch is configurable (init.defaultBranch). Since October 2020, the default branch for new repositories on GitHub is "main". Finally, PMD will also use this new name for the main branch in all our own repositories.

Fixed issues:

Merged pull requests:

• #93 Change branch master to main by @adangel

See https://github.com/pmd/pmd-designer/milestone/16

7.2.0

• #85 Properly stringify collection attributes as sequences by @jsotuyod

7.0.0

• Bump required pmd-core version to 7.0.0.

Changed maven GAV The maven coordinates (GAV) have been changed. The artifactId has been renamed to pmd-designer.

<dependency>
  <groupId>net.sourceforge.pmd</groupId>
  <artifactId>pmd-designer</artifactId>
  <version>7.0.0</version>
</dependency>

At the same time, the release artefact name changed to pmd-designer-7.0.0.jar.

Changed default OpenJFX version to be 17

The designer is built now against openjfx 17. When using the designer with OpenJDK, at least Java 11 is required with openjfx 17 or later.

The designer can still be started with Oracle's Java 8, which includes JavaFX. But this is not explicitly tested.

6.16.0

• Added the possibility to search the treeview. Press CTRL+F when it's focused, or click on the Search 🔎 button and enter a search query. You can cycle through results with CTRL+TAB or CTRL+F3, and cycle back with CTRL+SHIFT+TAB or CTRL+SHIFT+F3.

• Fix some bugs with XPath autocompletion

6.14.0

• Added the possibility to select a node directly from the code area. To use this, hold the CTRL key pressed for a second. The code area should change colors. In that state, hovering above some text should select the node to which it corresponds:

• Added a crumb bar that displays the ancestors of the currently selected node.

• When you have selected a node and start editing the code again, your selection should be preserved in most cases (on a best-effort basis) instead of reset.

• Improved the XPath export wizard

• Allow multiple independent xpath editors
