🚨 New GPG Release Signing Key

Since January 2025, we switched the GPG Key we use for signing releases in Maven Central to be
A0B5CA1A4E086838.
The full fingerprint is 2EFA 55D0 785C 31F9 56F2 F87E A0B5 CA1A 4E08 6838.

🚀 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.

• 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.

• #54 Upgrade openjfx to 17
• #65 Rename artifactId to pmd-designer
