Kotlin XPath functions and type attributes

Type data is now accessible in XPath rules via new attributes and helper functions (see Kotlin XPath rule support):

• Type-info Attributes: @TypeName, @ReturnTypeName, @AnnotationFqNames are exposed on declaration nodes (property, function, class, parameter, catch, for-loop, delegation specifier, annotation nodes). These attributes depend on type resolution: they are only available when auxClasspath is configured and the kotlin-type-mapper analysis has resolved the types.
• General Attributes: @Mutable, @Identifier, @Name are exposed on declaration and import related nodes. These attributes don't depend on type resolution, so they're always present regardless of auxClasspath.
• XPath functions:
  • pmd-kotlin:typeIs(typeName): matches if the node's type is typeName or a subtype.
  • pmd-kotlin:typeIsExactly(typeName): matches the exact declared type only (no subtypes).
  • pmd-kotlin:hasAnnotation(name): matches if the node has an annotation with the given simple or FQN.
  • pmd-kotlin:modifiers(): returns the modifier keywords of a declaration as a sequence.
  • pmd-kotlin:isNullable(): returns true if the node's declared type is nullable (has ?).
  • pmd-kotlin:hasUnresolvedReference(): returns true if the node contains an unresolved reference.
  • pmd-kotlin:matchesSig(signature): matches call sites by method signature pattern (supports wildcards).

🌟️ New and Changed Rules

New Rules

• The new Java rule OnDemandImport reports on-demand imports, also known as wildcard imports. By default, static imports from JUnit and TestNG are allowed. The allowed static and type import packages can be configured with allowStaticImportsFrom and allowTypeImportsFrom.
• The new Java rule LongLiteralEndingWithLowercaseL finds long literals ending with a lowercase l.
