-----------------------------------
Summary: Clarify ref guide findbugs section's use of "Apache
licensed version of annotations"
Key: HBASE-12408
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-12408
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: documentation
Reporter: Sean Busbey
Assignee: Sean Busbey
Priority: Minor
The ref guide has a [findbugs
section|http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#common.patch.feedback.findbugs] that
ends with this line
{quote}
It is important to use the Apache-licensed version of the annotations.
{quote}
without any additional context, it's hard to figure out what we're talking
about or why. The site for Findbugs itself only ever talks about its own
license, which is LGPL.
I think what we're getting at is that we use the fully qualified
SupressWarnings instead of the newer SuppressFBWarnings because we rely on the
[cleanroom ASL reimplementation of findbugs
annotations|https://github.com/stephenc/findbugs-annotations].
We should clarify that and provide some links.

* [cleanroom project page|https://github.com/stephenc/findbugs-annotations]
