Static Code Analysis Tutorial Review - FindBugs plugin not available
Static Code Analysis Tutorial
<https://netbeans.apache.org/kb/docs/java/code-inspect.html>
This tutorial includes instructions for using a plugin called FindBugs,
which is not shown in the list of Available Plugins in NB19. Is there
a source for an NB19 version of this plugin?

I think the successor to FindBugs is SpotBugs - although I don’t know if
there’s a NB plug-in for it.

+1 vote from me for getting the find/spot bugs plugin working again.
Unfortunately, I would be of little to no help in making the needed changes.

Hi all,
as the original author of the NetBeans findbugs plugin I can offer support,
if there is interest in creating a spotbugs plugin for NetBeans. One
problem here, was always to keep the configuration between the build tool
and the IDE in sync. On the other hand having more static analysis
available as you type was always nice...
Another tool which could be used is the sonar linter...
Open for comments...

Hi Stroud,
the last pieces of FindBugs support were removed in NetBeans 13 (#3455)
since it caused issues back then and wasn't maintained. FindBugs project
itself is also EOL and got replaced by SpotBugs as already mentioned.
The tutorial is out of date. Currently, NetBeans supports the already
integrated inspections and those written in the declarative Jackpot
language:
https://netbeans.apache.org/jackpot/HintsFileFormat.html
Today, you would typically add the spotbugs maven plugin to the build
and use it in an IDE independent manner both for CI and locally.
