findbugs plugin for Maven2

Hi all,

i currently investigate my time migrating my projects to Maven2.

But i still haven't found out how to get the findbugs plugin running.


>From what i found out, after reading through several posts and google
searches, there seem to be 2 different plugIns (i tried them both):

there is one at codehaus:

http://mojo.codehaus.org/findbugs-maven-plugin/howto.html
http://mojo.codehaus.org/findbugs-maven-plugin/howto.html 

  <pluginRepositories>
       <pluginRepository>
           <id>codehaus-snapshot-plugins</id>
           <name>codehaus-shapshot-plugins</name>
           <url> http://snapshots.maven.codehaus.org/maven2/</url>
           <snapshots>
               <enabled>true</enabled>
           </snapshots>
           <releases>
               <enabled>false</enabled>
           </releases>
       </pluginRepository>
  </pluginRepositories>

  <reporting>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
        <artifactId>findbugs-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
      </plugin> 
    </plugins>
  </reporting>


the other one is at sourceforge:

http://maven-plugins.sourceforge.net/maven-findbugs-plugin/index.html
http://maven-plugins.sourceforge.net/maven-findbugs-plugin/index.html 

  <reporting>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>maven-plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-findbugs-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </reporting>


Now my questions:

- Which one of them is the correct one for Maven2? (correct groupId,
artifactId, version PLSSSSS)
- Where is the correct download location?
- Do i need to download (and install it manually) or should it work
automatically, like for most of the other plugIns?
- How do i exactly configure it correctly, since i get errors for both of
them.

thx for your help, kindly regards
R.C.

Hi

Well, that sounds like a bug to me. You should file an issue report 
about it over at the Mojo project:

   http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MOJO

It seems to me that there is another plugIn missing.

I already tried a dependency to xalan, which i read in another post:

    <dependency>
       <groupId>jaxen</groupId>
       <artifactId>jaxen</artifactId>
       <version>1.1-beta-8</version>
       <scope>compile</scope>
    </dependency>  


but then i get some strange errors:

Sorry that should be:

<project>
   ...
   <pluginRepositories>
     <pluginRepository>
       <id>codehaus-snapshots</id>
       <name>Codehaus snapshots</name>
       <url>http://snapshots.maven.codehaus.org/maven2/</url>
     </pluginRepository>
   </pluginRepositories>
   ...
</project>

The one at SF is for Maven 1 and the one at mojo is for Maven 2. You 
should use this in your pom:

<project>
...
   <reporting>
     ...
     <plugin>
       <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
       <artifactId>findbugs-maven-plugin</artifactId>
       <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
     </plugin>
     ...
   </reporting>
</project>

There has been no official release, not even a beta, of this plugin. 
Therefor you need to add the snapshot repository at codehaus to be able 
to download it. You can do this in your pom as well:

<project>
...
   <repositories>
     <repository>
       <id>codehaus-snapshots</id>
       <name>Codehaus snapshots</name>
       <url>http://snapshots.maven.codehaus.org/maven2/</url>
     </repository>
   </repositories>
...
</project>

> - Where is the correct download location?
> - Do i need to download (and install it manually) or should it work
> automatically, like for most of the other plugIns?

If you specify the snapshot repo as above you shouldn't have to download 
manually.

> - How do i exactly configure it correctly, since i get errors for both of
> them.
