java.findbugs.general

Subject: filtering question


Okay, I have just worked my static bug list back down, upgraded to 1.1.1
and worked the list down again. I really like this tool. It has helped
me remove so many bugs prior to unit testing and delivery. Thanks a lot.

Now, I still have some 45 "bugs" remaining that I consider to be okay
even if they are not best practices. For instance, the program has a
problem reading a socket so it tries to close it but socket.close()
throws an IOException. So what at, I am trashing the socket anyway from
a previous error so I ignore the exception. FindBugs does not see it
that way though.

What would be nice is to give it a preexisting list bugs as a filter to
remove all those that are documented and filed away. Hence, I could spot
new bugs faster and not waste time with essentially false positives. Any
chances on getting a feature like that?
