Hi,
I'd be interested in seeing the report.

There are ways to tell the tool to exclude bugs by a filter list. I
haven't looked into the details of that yet, but that could be an
option to eliminate things we decide are OK and don't want to appear
again.
I'm attaching an HTML report I produced with this command-line:
~/Projects/eclipse/workspace/Cayenne30/framework>
~/Desktop/findbugs-1.1.1/bin/findbugs -textui -effort:max -onlyAnalyze
'org.apache.cayenne.-' -low -html -outputFile modeler-report.html
cayenne-modeler
It also has a -xdocs option to produce output for Maven. Obviously, I
have more work to do. :-)
Thanks,

PS. If the mailing list strips the attachment and you want to see it
(and don't want to run your own like I did above), shoot me an e-mail
directly.

From my experience of it, there are lots of 'bugs' it finds which
you end up having to ignore. If that was the case, a weekly report
may not be that helpful since anything useful would be buried in the
noise. But if the FindBug count count be brought to zero, then a
weekly script might be more useful. I seem to remember that there are
lots of ways to configure the rules it runs to quite a fine degree. I
seem to remember that the style and performance reports it created
were less useful, but it found some interesting problems in our code
base.
