Hi Cesar
I am a PhD student at UFMG, Brazil and as part of my research I am
making a study about the relevance of the warnings reported by the
FindBugs bug finding tool.
Since I am planning to use Directory as a subject system in my research,
I would like to know if Directory's developers usually run FindBugs as
part of the system development process.
Yes, we do. You'll find the FindBugs reports [1] among other reports
generated during CI builds.
So it can be said that
- yes we generate the reports quite regularly and
- yes, from time to time we also fix findings found by the reports
- no, we do not usually run the reports locally as it is just to time
consuming when each developer does it on his one before he does any commits.
BTW:
Note that this is the Apache Directory ML and not the Lucene ML as you
mentioned within the subject.
Regards
Felix
