[mojo-dev] [jira] (MFINDBUGS-208) Command-line output does not give specific line number

[Jesse Glick (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Jesse Glick created an issue   Mojo's FindBugs Maven Plugin / MFINDBUGS-208 Command-line output does not give specific line number Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.0.0 Assignee: Garvin LeClaire Created: 05/Dec/14 10:08 AM Environment: Java 8, Maven 3.0.5, Linux Priority: Major Reporter: Jesse Glick github.com/jenkinsci/support-core-plugin @db48bb0 --- findbugs-maven-plugin:3.0.0:check (default) @ support-core --- BugInstance size is 1 Error size is 0 Total bugs: 1 Possible null pointer dereference in com.cloudbees.jenkins.support.impl.AboutJenkins$NodesContent.printTo(PrintWriter) due to return value of called method ["com.cloudbees.jenkins.support.impl.AboutJenkins$NodesContent"] At AboutJenkins.java:[lines 672-756] This is quite a long range of lines: the entire length of the nested class. Since the message itself does not mention which called method might be returning null (this is the fault of FindBugs, not the plugin), there is no easy way of finding the problem. However target/findbugsXml.xml does specify the actual line with the error: <SourceLine role='SOURCE_LINE_DEREF' endBytecode='212' classname='com.cloudbees.jenkins.support.impl.AboutJenkins$NodesContent' start='702' end='702' sourcepath='com/cloudbees/jenkins/support/impl/AboutJenkins.java' sourcefile='AboutJenkins.java' startBytecode='212' primary='true'> <Message>Dereferenced at AboutJenkins.java:[line 702]</Message> </SourceLine> <SourceLine role='SOURCE_LINE_KNOWN_NULL' endBytecode='209' classname='com.cloudbees.jenkins.support.impl.AboutJenkins$NodesContent' start='702' end='702' sourcepath='com/cloudbees/jenkins/support/impl/AboutJenkins.java' sourcefile='AboutJenkins.java' startBytecode='209'> <Message>Known null at AboutJenkins.java:[line 702]</Message> </SourceLine> So why does the command-line output omit this critical information?
