findbugs-maven-plugin XML format does not follow same schema as that generated
by findbugs
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MOJO-882
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MOJO-882
Project: Mojo
Issue Type: Bug
Components: findbugs
Reporter: Stephen Connolly
The XML report generated by findbugs-maven-plugin is a completely different
schema from that generated by findbugs natively.
The files generated by the plugin have the same initial element (thus making it
difficult to differentiate between the two formats) but the schema layout and
elements are different.
This is because the findbugs-maven-plugin does not delegate to the findbugs xml
reporter, but instead generates the xml report internally.
Initial discussion: http://www.nabble.com/Findbugs-maven-plugin-tf4239159.html
If the internally generated format is used by other projects, either a config
option to enable the findbugs xml generator or the output of the maven
sourcepaths in the findbugs-maven-plugin xml report would be sufficient patches
for our needs.
The long term fix should be to output in the findbugs native format... thus
people would not have to write two sets of parsers (one for maven invoked
findbugs and the other for all other invokations of findbugs)
The advantage of the internally generated xml report is that it removes
dependency on the schema changes that the findbugs has been known to make.
