OK, we'll get this resolved quickly and release FB 1.1.3.

I'm a new findbugs user. I've installed findbugs-1.1.2 and
successfully used the gui on my project to identify bugs. Now I'm
trying to add it to my ant build, and I get an error.

I've defined the task, and added a findbugs target

<target name="findbugs">
<findbugs home="${findbugs.home}"
output="xml"
outputFile="${findbugs.dir}/findbugs-report.xml" >
<sourcePath path="${build.src.dir}" />
<class location="${build.classes.dir}" />
</findbugs>
</target>

but when I run this target I get the following

Buildfile: build.xml

The error says that findbugs.home is not set, but I'm sure it is. I've
used echoproperties to confirm, and if I change the value, then it
correctly reports an error that it cannot find findbugs.jar. So is
there something else that I'm forgetting to do? Is there anything else
I can try to figure this out? I'm running on Windows XP with
jdk1.5.0_10 and apache-ant-1.7.0.

Thanks for any help,

Alex Chapman
