> Key: HBASE-12408
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-12408
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: documentation
> Reporter: Sean Busbey
> Priority: Trivial

> The ref guide has a [findbugs
> section|http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#common.patch.feedback.findbugs]
> that ends with this line
> {quote}
> It is important to use the Apache-licensed version of the annotations.
> {quote}
> without any additional context, it's hard to figure out what we're talking
> about or why. The site for Findbugs itself only ever talks about its own
> license, which is LGPL.
> I think what we're getting at is that we use the fully qualified
> SupressWarnings instead of the newer SuppressFBWarnings because we rely on
> the [cleanroom ASL reimplementation of findbugs
> annotations|https://github.com/stephenc/findbugs-annotations].
> We should clarify that and provide some links.
