📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This pull request introduces code quality infrastructure and updates the Java codebase with several modifications. A new PMD ruleset configuration file is added and integrated into the build system with PMD version 7.17.0. The ReflectionPlume utility class is updated to use Files.newInputStream instead of FileInputStream and removes SecurityException from method signatures. The SignatureRegexes class is marked as final. The Maven Central build configuration is refactored to explicitly declare artifact dependencies during the assemble task.

🔇 Additional comments (8)

gradle/mavencentral.gradle (1)

36-39: LGTM! Clean refactor to explicit dependencies.

The change from an artifacts block to explicit dependsOn declarations in the assemble task is clearer and more maintainable. This ensures that javadocJar and sourcesJar are built before assembly without relying on implicit behavior.

build.gradle (2)

14-15: PMD linter enabled.

The PMD plugin is now active and will enforce code quality rules during builds.

---

119-126: PMD 7.17.0 is the latest stable version—configuration is approved.

PMD 7.17.0 (released 12 Sep 2025) is the latest stable release as of Oct 29, 2025. Your configuration is sound with appropriate settings for quality enforcement and performance optimization. No critical issues block this version.

src/main/java/org/plumelib/reflection/SignatureRegexes.java (1)

12-12: LGTM! Utility class properly finalized.

Making SignatureRegexes final is the correct pattern for a utility class. Combined with the private constructor, this prevents any attempts to extend or instantiate the class, enforcing its role as a static helper.

src/main/java/org/plumelib/reflection/ReflectionPlume.java (3)

9-13: LGTM! Modern imports added.

The new imports support the migration to Files.newInputStream and the NIO Path API.

---

211-211: LGTM! Modernized file input handling.

Replacing FileInputStream with Files.newInputStream(Path.of(pathname)) aligns with modern Java best practices and likely addresses PMD's AvoidFileStream rule. The change is functionally equivalent for this use case.

---

314-314: The review comment does not match the actual code changes.

The current code at lines 314 and 379 does not contain SecurityException in the throws clauses—they only declare ClassNotFoundException and NoSuchMethodException. There is no evidence in the git diff that SecurityException was removed as part of this PR, and no references to SecurityException exist anywhere in the ReflectionPlume.java file or the reflection package. Additionally, a comprehensive search of the codebase found zero instances of SecurityException being caught, making this review comment either outdated, premature, or based on a misunderstanding of the actual changes.

Likely an incorrect or invalid review comment.

.pmd-ruleset.xml (1)

1-365: Well-organized PMD ruleset with comprehensive rule selection.

This is a well-documented PMD ruleset configuration. The XML is valid and properly structured with 202 active rules organized by category (best practices, code style, design, error prone, performance, security, etc.). Key strengths:

• Clear organization with pragmatic approach: disables noisy/broken rules with explanations
• Custom properties for EmptyControlStatement and EmptyCatchBlock allow commented blocks
• Comprehensive coverage balanced against practical concerns (e.g., rules disabled for noise or false positives)

Verify that existing code passes PMD checks with this ruleset on your system before merging, since this appears to be the first comprehensive PMD configuration applied to the codebase.
