Even better, I just replaced the entire mess by this:

       <dependencies pathId="findbugs.classpath"
                     useScope="runtime">
           <dependency groupId="net.sourceforge.findbugs"
                      artifactId="findbugs"
                      version="1.0.0"/>
       </dependencies>

Thanks, Maven works so much better when your POM has the right 
dependencies. :-)

I had already wondered how it could have worked with that dependency 
mess. I'm using the Maven Antlib, i.e. the build scripts are all Ant and 
it uses the Maven repository to download external libraries on demand.
