Brian,
This would be a great change. However, would it be possible if (XML) reports
included a 'sub-counter' for each method-bug?
Thus while reducing the number of bugs / size of reports (i'm running
findbugs on a large legacy application that generates hundreds/thousands of
bugs), this will allow to keep an 'exact' count of bugs.
With the changes you're proposing, i'll have to update fancy.xsl, when are
you planning to start working on this?.
Also, sf anonymous CVS server has been broken for a while now... any news on
moving off of sourceforge.
(can't we just move from CVS to SVN on sourceforge that seems pretty
reliable?).
Thanks,
Etienne
