Nigel Daley updated HADOOP-1379:
--------------------------------

    Attachment: hadoop-findbugs-report.html

Findbugs is tunable, both in the detectors it uses and the output format it 
generates.  I've attached html output from a recent run using all detectors.  I 
believe Findbugs can also produce incremental output build over build.

In addition, the guys over at Fortify (http://opensource.fortifysoftware.com) 
will run Findbugs and their Source Code Analysis (SCA) software for free on 
open source projects.  I notice Lucene and Nutch are already registered.  The 
advantage of letting them run it is we then have access to their web interface 
to collaboratively classify the findbugs issues (Not a Bug, Should fix, Must 
fix, etc.).

> Integrate Findbugs into nightly build process

> I think we should integrate Findbugs (http://findbugs.sourceforge.net) into 
> our nightly test runs at http://lucene.zones.apache.org:8080/hudson/ and/or 
> our patch process builds.
> Findbugs uses static analysis to look for bugs in Java code.  It is licensed 
> under Lesser GNU Public License so the build target will need to be optional, 
> similar to the checkstyle target.
