hi everybody,

at the moment i'm using FindBugs together with ant. now i'd like to use 
FindBugs with maven. 
The problem is now, that the xml-output generated with the ant-target differs 
from one generated with the maven-findbugs-plugin.

xml-output generated by the maven-plugin:

<BugCollection version=........." >
        <file classname=........." >
                <BugInstance type="SA_LOCAL_SELF_ASSIGNMENT" priority="Normal" 
category="STYLE" message="SA: ......" lineNumber="21" />
                <BugInstance type="BIT_AND_ZZ" priority="Normal" 
category="CORRECTNESS" message=".........." lineNumber="15" />
        </file>
        <Errors>
        </Errors>
</BugCollection>

to compare: xml-output with ant-task:

<BugCollection version="........." >
        <Project filename="........">
                <Jar>.....</Jar>
                <SrcDir>......</SrcDir>
         </Project>
        <BugInstance ...>
                <Class classname=".........">
                        <SourceLine classname="........"/>
                </Class>
                <Method ....>
                        <SourceLine ......../>
                </Method>
                <SourceLine classname="......." />
        </BugInstance>
        <Errors></Errors>
        <FindBugsSummary........</FindBugsSummary>
        <ClassFeatures></ClassFeatures>
        <History></History>
</BugCollection>

So my questions:
*1) is there an "easy"-way to adjust the xml-ouput to the one similar zu the 
ant-task? or do i have to rewrite the maven-plugin ?
*2) will the output get adjusted in the future, or will it always differ from 
the one generated by the ant-task?
*3) whats the reason to change the output of findbugs? is it because maven 
needs an other structure to be able to handle the output ?


it would be great if u could answer my questions....


and by the way....sorry for my bad english .-)
