I agree that ignoring all the existing issues at the time FindBugs was set up was necessary, but now that FindBugs is in place I don’t think we want to blindly ignore its output any more. Again, some of the issues raised after the recent commits seem valid and ought to be fixed. Can we revert commit 1071912 and re-consider the issues one-by-one before ignoring them? > FOP's history has left us with a very large number of existing > findbugs errors.
