[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-1379) Integrate Findbugs into nightly build process

["Doug Cutting (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-1379:
--------------------------------------

Can you please attach some sample findbugs output?  I have no problem adding support for findbugs to build.xml, but am concerned that if the false-positive rate is too high that it could waste more time than it saves, so we shouldn't force its analysis on folks, e.g., by failing builds because of it.  Adding it to the nightly as something that folks can optionally browse shouldn't cause any harm however.

> I think we should integrate Findbugs (http://findbugs.sourceforge.net) into our nightly test runs at http://lucene.zones.apache.org:8080/hudson/ and/or our patch process builds.
> Findbugs uses static analysis to look for bugs in Java code.  It is licensed under Lesser GNU Public License so the build target will need to be optional, similar to the checkstyle target.
