To clarify, it seems that SpotBugs is a fork of FindBugs, cloned November 2016, with some light branding changes. So it's really the same piece of software from an IDE integration standpoint. (The explanation at https://mailman.cs.umd.edu/pipermail/findbugs-discuss/2016-November/004337.html was informative.) -- Eirik -----Original Message----- From: John McDonnell <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 1, 2019 5:28 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Find Bugs Integration - which donation? Yes, FindBugs is effectively dead, but SpotBugs[1] has becomes its successor, and supports up to Java 9 and is in active development[2]. My curiosity about the integration arose when I spotted this "new" project earlier (that being said I still use Java 8 - mostly for work purposes...)
