See http://mojo.codehaus.org/findbugs-maven-plugin/examples/violationChecking.htmlfor info on findbugs:check and findbugs:findbugs is run as a report which is part of site. This is modeled the same as the PMD and Checkstyle plugins.
The document for filters is on the findbugs site itself. There are links from the plugin site link to this information. The findbugs-maven-plugin works with Maven 3 as I have been using on a number of projects without issue nor have there been any tickets raised about the compatibility. Are you have issues?
