In Mahout, we have found that IntelliJ (which is usually like Eclipse, but more thorough) does not warn on the same things that findbugs, pmd or checkstyle warn on. We haven't been able to force that behavior very well, either. That means that we have to use a combination of methods to drive down warnings.
In general, the quality of the maven mediated warnings is much lower than the quality of the IDE based warnings although there are a few exceptions (Eclipse flags @override all the time even when it is correctly done, findbugs flags certain serialization and maintainability problems better).
