I agree with Jyri here (thus the Subject: change), but I'm concerned that we are not in fact building a coherent and comprehensive Java development environment on OpenSolaris as much as we are throwing a random heap of things together with little to no regard for the relationships between them or how they are actually used. In other words, if we *do* end up with OpenSolaris being a good Java development environment, it will be by happy coincidence rather than by intentional design. So, assuming that findbugs is intended to be a part of a larger "Java Friendly" environment, where is the doc that lays out the larger plan for doing this? What other related commands/tools/libs are needed? What relationships exist between them? etc etc etc -John
