Support for other languages about pmd-designer HOT 2 CLOSED

PMD consists actually of two tools:

• CPD (copy paste detector)
• and PMD itself

Language support for CPD is easier (only a tokenizer is needed). Therefore it supports many languages. Many more languages than PMD.
Language support for PMD is a bit harder (it requires a full parser). We support a couple of languages, but not as many as for CPD.

Here are the languages supported for PMD:

• https://pmd.github.io/latest/pmd_userdocs_cli_reference.html#supported-languages (with the links to the available rules)

Here are the languages supported for CPD:

• https://pmd.github.io/latest/pmd_userdocs_cpd.html#supported-languages

So, I believe, the pmd-designer supports all languages, that PMD supports.
Is there a specific language you are missing?

I think we can close this. The designer is meant only for PMD-supported languages, and not useful for CPD languages.
