["Andrew Purtell (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-11912?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Andrew Purtell updated HBASE-11912:
-----------------------------------
    Attachment: HBASE-11912.patch

Here's a patch that wires up error-prone to the build with Maven, excluding protoc generated code (mild irony noted).

Working on another patch that fixes the issues found with the POM change in place.

> Google's error-prone (https://code.google.com/p/error-prone/) wraps javac with some additional static analysis that will generate additional warnings or errors at compile time if certain bug patterns (https://code.google.com/p/error-prone/wiki/BugPatterns) are detected. What's nice about this approach, as opposed to findbugs, is the compile time detection and erroring out prevent the detected problems from getting into the codebase up front.
