Re: running findbugs with Maven Antlibs

 That may not work as the Findbugs POM does not declare its dependency on the coreplugin while coreplugin shows a dependency on findbugs.  
This is wrong and should be reversed.  It gave me fits when trying to get the minimum dependencies listed in the plugin POM and let the transitive dependency mechanism of Maven do the rest.

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.
