Thanks Glenn. I've removed the duplicates that I noticed initially, but 
I can see there are some more. Due to the size of the file, it will 
probably require some automated process to remove all the duplicates.

Thanks,

    Hi Fellow Committers,

    I was reviewing the current set of warnings generated by FindBugs
    and found myself needing to add an extra exclusion. I noticed that
    the exclusions file contains a lot of duplicates, e.g.

    <Match>
    <Class name="org.apache.fop.render.afp.AFPImageHandlerRawCCITTFax"/>
    <Method name="setAdditionalParameters"/>
    <Bug pattern="BC_UNCONFIRMED_CAST"/>
    </Match>
    <Match>
    <Class name="org.apache.fop.render.afp.AFPImageHandlerRawCCITTFax"/>
    <Method name="setAdditionalParameters"/>
    <Bug pattern="BC_UNCONFIRMED_CAST"/>
    </Match>

    Does anyone know why the duplicates exist? I confirmed that
    removing the duplicates does not re-introduce any warnings with
    FindBugs 1.3.9.

    Thanks,

    Chris
