Description of feature/enhancement:
PMD 6.0.1 released on 21-January-2018. So, we can upgrade to that.
Justification
It is the latest version.
Existing similar features and their shortcomings:
One of the shortcomings is the false positive for Private Methods (#8510)
As #8512 and this issue is closely related, I think there is no point in keeping two issues. So, for pmd ruleset modification specifics, see #8512

Can I work on this and simultaneously also resolve the referenced issues?

@tshradheya Thank you for asking first. Acutally I have all the work done. Was working on it for some time which is why discovered the #8512 issues. :sweat_smile:

I'm very aware of the new PMD; despite all its goodness, it's still missing one critical piece: the Eclipse support.

@wkurniawan07 Oops! Missed that. :sweat_smile:

Actually we shouldn't let Eclipse be a blocker for this. Until Eclipse has the support for it, we can keep a separate, frozen config based on what we have right now, and use a new config file to move forward with the new PMD.
