Scott Wegner commented on BEAM-5784:
------------------------------------
The first step would be to audit the set of checks we get from FindBugs and see
if there is a comparable check in ErrorProne or otherwise.
We use the default set of FindBugs checks, with a set of exclusions defined in
[findbugs-filter.xml|https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/cd2ad5ef56d70893cf477222fb76f604e064cbe9/sdks/java/build-tools/src/main/resources/beam/findbugs-filter.xml]
I'll do an initial audit over the checks we use.

> This was [discussed previously on
> dev@|https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/83afd25e55f53e38a7d0a75f3de7373e0ea325fbbaede2fe7c56e279@%3Cdev.beam.apache.org%3E]
> but we never actually made progress on it.
> Now that we have ErrorProne enabled across the codebase, we may be able to
> deprecate FindBugs. FindBugs has caused all sorts of build and licensing
> complications; it would be nice to remove it from our build.
