Affects PMD Version:

Since 6.20.0

Description:

The rule InvalidSlf4jMessageFormat has been renamed to InvalidLogMessageFormat. This happened with 6.19.0

• In 6.18.0, there is still InvalidSlf4jMessageFormat: https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.18.0/pmd_rules_java_errorprone.html#invalidslf4jmessageformat
• In 6.19.0, it is still there, but deprecated: https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.19.0/pmd_rules_java_errorprone.html#invalidslf4jmessageformat This is correct: ✔️
• In 6.20.0, it's missing: https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.20.0/pmd_rules_java_errorprone.html#invalidslf4jmessageformat ❌

Since then, we seem to ignore deprecated rule references....

Deprecated rules are still there, e.g.: https://pmd.github.io/latest/pmd_rules_java_errorprone.html#dataflowanomalyanalysis

In pmd-docs, we have a test case for this, but the test case is wrong:

According to our docs, it should have used the deprecated flag: https://pmd.github.io/latest/pmd_devdocs_rule_deprecation_policy.html#renaming-rules
