Dear findbugs developers,
I would like to introduce findbugs in a project with multiple
developers. However, I always struggled with findbugs settings in the
past..
Last week, I installed the latest and greatest findbugs 0.9.4 eclipse
plugin. Moreover, I installed fb-contrib 2.0.0 by placing its jar file
in the findbugs plugin directory. I also removed ".fbprefs" from my
Eclipse project such that there were no old settings.
Then, I started Eclipse, opened my project, opened the project settings
dialog and activated all findbugs warnings. Findbugs reported a couple
of warnings. I was happy and committed the ".fbprefs" file to my
project's repository so everybody could use it. So far, so good.
Today, I decided that "circular dependency" is not really an issue in
our project. So I deactivated this type of warning in the project
settings dialog. As a result, findbugs saved a new .fbprefs file. The
new .fbprefs looked totally different from the former one, because
findbugs stores the detector entries in an arbitrary order (question:
could the order please be a bit more deterministic???).
But what really astonished me was the fact that the new .fbprefs file
was larger than the former one. I inspected the old and the new file and
it turned out that findbugs added the following entries:
BCPMethodReturnCheck|false
CheckCalls|false
EqStringTest|false
FindBadCast|false
FindBadEqualsImplementation|false
FindBugsSummaryStats|true
FindFloatMath|false
FindSqlInjection|false
FindUnsatisfiedObligation|false
LockedFields|false
NoteCheckReturnValueAnnotations|true
NoteCheckReturnValue|true
NoteNonNullAnnotations|true
NoteSuppressedWarnings|true
NoteUnconditionalParamDerefs|true
ResolveAllReferences|false
TestingGround|false
TrainFieldStoreTypes|true
TrainNonNullAnnotations|true
TrainUnconditionalDerefParams|true
Hmmmm....
Where do these entries come from? Why haven't they been there before?
And why is the list of detectors in .fbprefs larger than the list shown
in Eclipse's project settings?
Thank you very much in advance for help! After all, Findbugs is an
excellent tool!
