+title: PMD For Eclipse 7.0.0.v20230410-1321-rc1 Released
+---
+
+A new PMD for Eclipse plugin version has been released.
+It is available via the update site: https://pmd.github.io/pmd-eclipse-plugin-p2-site/
+
+
+This is a release candidate for the next major release.
+
+### New and noteworthy
+
+* Beginning with version 7 of this plugin, only the last four eclipse releases are supported. The plugin
+  might still work with older versions, but it's only developed and tested against the newer versions.
+
+* The version number of the PMD Eclipse Plugin now is synchronized with the supported and used PMD version.
+  For Bugfixes in the PMD Eclipse Plugin only, a new version is released with the same major, minor, and patch,
+  but a new qualifier only.
+
+* The minimum required Java version is Java 8.
+
+* The PMD Designer can't be started from within the plugin anymore. Please install
+  [PMD Designer](https://github.com/pmd/pmd-designer) separately when needed.
+
+* Updated to PMD 7.0.0-rc1
