Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-12557:
-------------------------------------------
bq. Should really findbugs details be part of distro in anyway?
That's exactly what I meant by remove. I guess folks didn't understand what
"before test-patch" meant either.. the only way hadoop committers got findbugs
output was *after* doing a full dist build back in the 0.x days. There was no
test-patch to do findbugs analysis during patch review!
This is a great example of everyone reading code and assuming it is actually
correct. :D But once you take a step back, you realize that it completely
bonkers to be putting findbugs output in the distribution documentation.
> Add information in BUILDING.txt about the need for the FINDBUGS_HOME
> environment variable for docs builds.
