mainPmdAuxClasspathCopy configuration has been deprecated for dependency declaration

by 
gradle version = 8.2.1

plugins {
     id 'pmd'
}

pmdMain {
    enabled = gradle.startParameter.taskNames.contains('pmdMain')
}

Inclusion of plugin ‘pmd’ throws the following warnings while running ./gradlew dependencyUpdates. How do we get rid of these deprecations

  • Start by sharing your Gradle build file and version.

  • @aled addd as part of description, don’t have anything else

    – 

  • That’s the entire gradle.build file? The warnings are related to dependencies. Doesn’t your project has any? No pmd configurations either?

  • @aled added pmdMain

    – 

  • You mean there is no mainPmdAuxClasspathCopy or mainPmdAuxClasspathCopy2 anywhere in your gradle.build nor any other file?
