            | FindBugs™ - Find Bugs in Java Programs
                    This is the web page for FindBugs, a program which uses static analysis to look for bugs in Java
                    code.  It is free software, distributed under the terms of the Lesser GNU Public License. The name
                    FindBugs™ and the FindBugs logo are trademarked by The University of Maryland. FindBugs has been downloaded more than
                    a million times.
                 The current version of FindBugs is @VERSION@. 
                    FindBugs requires JRE (or JDK) 1.7.0 or later to run.  However, it can analyze programs
                    compiled for any version of Java, from 1.0 to 1.8.
                  The current version of FindBugs is @VERSION@,
                    released on @RELEASE_DATE@. We are very interested in getting
                        feedback on how to improve FindBugs. File bug reports on  our

 FindBugs 3.0.0 ReleaseFindBugs 2.0.3 ReleaseFindBugs 2.0.3 is intended to be a minor bug fix release over
                FindBugs 2.0.2. Although than some improvements to existing bug detectors
                and analysis engines, and a few new bug patterns, and some
                important bug fixes to the Eclipse plugin, no significant changes
                should be observed. Consult the Change log
                for more details.

                 Ways to run FindBugsHere are various ways to run FindBugs. For plugins not supported by the FindBugs team, check to
                    see what version of FindBugs they provide; it might take a little while for the plugins to update to
                    FindBugs 2.0.

                     Experience with FindBugs
                Google FindBugs Fixit: Google has a tradition of engineering fixits, special days where
                    they try to get all of their engineers focused on some specific problem or technique for improving
                    the systems at Google. A fixit might work to improve web accessibility, internal testing, removing
                    TODO's from internal software, etc.
                    In 2009, Google held a global fixit for UMD's FindBugs tool a static analysis tool for
                        finding coding mistakes in Java software. The focus of the fixit was to get feedback on the
                        4,000 highest confidence issues found by FindBugs at Google, and let Google engineers decide
                        which issues, if any, needed fixing. More than 700 engineers ran FindBugs from dozens of offices. More than 250 of them entered
                        more than 8,000 reviews of the issues. A review is a classification of an issue as must-fix,
                        should-fix, mostly-harmless, not-a-bug, and several other categories. More than 75% of the
                        reviews classified issues as must fix, should fix or I will fix. Many of the scariest issues
                        received more than 10 reviews each. Engineers have already submitted changes that made more than 1,100 of the 3,800 issues go
                        away. Engineers filed more than 1,700 bug reports, of which 600 have already been marked as
                        fixed Work continues on addressing the issues raised by the fixit, and on supporting the
                        integration of FindBugs into the software development process at Google. The fixit at Google showcased new capabilities of FindBugs that provide a cloud computing /
                        social networking backdrop. Reviews of issues are immediately persisted into a central store,
                        where they can be seen by other developers, and FindBugs is integrated into the internal Google
                        tools for filing and viewing bug reports and for viewing the version control history of source
                        files. For the Fixit, FindBugs was configured in a mode where engineers could not see reviews
                        from other engineers until they had entered their own; after the fixit, the configuration will
                        be changed to a more open configuration where engineers can see reviews from others without
                        having to provide their own review first. These capabilities have all been contributed to UMD's
                        open source FindBugs tool, although a fair bit of engineering remains to prepare the
                        capabilities for general release and make sure they can integrate into systems outside of
                        Google. The new capabilities are expected to be ready for general release in Fall 2009.
