Personally, I prefer findbugs-exclude.xml since that doesn't pollute the
build for folks who have no interest in FindBugs.

They fail for me to. Odd. I would have expected a CI nag about that.

'svn log' and 'svn blame' can be very useful when determining why code
is the way it is. In this case they point to POOL-212 and it is indeed
the unit tests that are wrong.

Not for Pool 1.5. The target Java version is < 1.5. Not sure it is worth
it for 1.6 (and it easier to keep the 1.5.x and 1.6.x in sync if it is
just generics that is the difference). For Pool 2.x I don't have a
strong preference.
