Research direction
Find the PMD configuration (e.g., in pom.xml or a ruleset file), update the targetJdk to 1.8, then run the PMD analysis again. The new warnings will appear; fix each by refactoring the code to comply with PMD rules. Focus on methods using old constructs like explicit type declarations that can be replaced with diamond operator, or loops that can be enhanced.
