@meisenla thanks for reporting, the junit rules have all been moved in pmd7 or removed from pmd7. We will remove these references for now and recheck the rule mappings in a future release.

For example: JUnitAssertionsShouldIncludeMessage has been moved to bestpractices with new name UnitTestAssertionsShouldIncludeMessageRule.

Plus that rule is also available in Sonar java already as: https://rules.sonarsource.com/java/RSPEC-2698/ so we can exclude it from sonar-pmd.
