I looked through a few dozen examples and saw little it was catching that FindBugs would not also pick up. Since we have made no serious effort to address the numerous issues that FB is already warning us of, I see little point in adding a proprietary tool to the mix, with the implied overhead of keeping it licensed and running. FWIW I keep a FindBugs plugin running in my IDE so that its warnings show up automatically in the editor. This helps me usually keep any new code I write clean of common FB warnings, and sometimes I will fix up important-looking violations in code related to things I am patching. But you hardly need spend much time looking for bugs to fix in Jenkins; I do not know of anyone consistently triaging incoming JIRA reports, so picking over minor static analysis warnings seems a low priority. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Developers" group.
