This is interesting. I thought FindBugs ran against the java source, not the class files. The pcVersionInit field that you reference is a field that is inserted into the bytecodes of an Entity class file during the OpenJPA enhancement processing. (FYI, any fields or methods that are prefaced by "pc" indicate that it was inserted by our enhancement processing. The "pc" stands for "persistence capable".)
Is there an option on FindBugs to only run against the source? Or, you could run FindBugs before your build does the enhancement processing.
