RE: [eclipse.org-architecture-council] FindBugs

We used it for a while on Mylyn, at a time when our policy was not having zero compiler warnings on commit.  That’s changed, and I was thinking that we should try to go after fixing all the improved JDT warnings before going after additional ones.  So we stopped using it.  But FindBugs does have some nice checking that the JDT compiler does not, and I’d be interested in adopting it as a best practice if a few other projects are finding it useful day-to-day.

I have used FindBugs and was impressed by the high signal to noise ratio. You can also configure it to only report new issues that have been introduced since a certain baseline. That way, you can avoid having to look through false positives more than once.

Makes sense to me.
