This plugin generates the trend report for FindBugs, an open source program which uses static analysis to look for bugs in Java code.
Description
The FindBugs plug-in scans for findbugs.xml files in the build workspace and reports the number of warnings found. This plug-in is part of the suite of static code analysis plug-ins that are documented on a separate WIKI page.
The following features are provided by this plug-in:
- Configuration of the files to scan after a build.
- Build summary showing the new and fixed warnings of a build
- Several trend reports showing the number of warnings per build
- Overview of the found warnings per module, package, category, or type
- Parsing of Maven pom.xml or Ant build.xml configuration files to obtain the module or project name
- Parsing of Java or C# files to obtain the package or name space name
- Detail reports of the found warnings optionally filtered by severity (or new and fixed)
- Short messages is read from the report file
- Detailed description is read from the FindBugs library
- Colored HTML display of the corresponding source file and warning lines:
- Direct link to the warning line
- Highlighting of single lines as well as line ranges
- Highlighting of multiple line ranges per warning (different color for primary range)
- Tool tip describing the warning message
- Failure threshold to mark a build as unstable
- Configurable project health support
- Support for the findbugs ant task and the maven-findbugs-plugin 1.1.1 and newer
- Works with the freestyle and native m2 build option of Hudson (activated on goal findbugs:findbugs or site)
- Localization available for: DE (Please help to localize findbugs for your locale!)
The current release is available in the download section. This plug-in is developed and maintained by Ullrich Hafner. Please use the Hudson mailing lists or issue tracker to ask questions, create feature request or bug reports, since I don't read the comment section on this page regularly.
Changelog
Release 3.8
- Added new trend graphs and a configuration screen per job or per user.
- Fixed source code linking if the findbugs report is computed by maven's site goal (issue #3511).
Release 3.7
Release 3.5
- Fixed build health reporting and failure thresholds for native m2 builds (issue #3310).
Release 3.4
- Additional build status thresholds: now you can set the build status to unstable or failure if the total number of the number of new warnings exceeds the defined thresholds (issue #2537, issue #3024).
- Improved new warning detection: now warnings are only considered as new if the associated source code context (3 lines of code) differs.
Release 3.3
Release 3.2
- Added validation of file pattern in configuration screen
- Upgrade to FindBugs 1.3.7 (issue #2861)
- Automatically adapt pom.xml file to produce the correct output format (m2 native mode, issue #2714)
Release 3.1
- Fixed priority evaluation radio buttons in configuration screen (issue #2805)
Release 3.0
- Added new configuration entry "default encoding" that is used when the plug-in reads or parses files (issue #1999)

The warning descriptions are also doubled; this is the page which has links to the source.
This bug appears in the findbugs plugin v1.18 only. I tried installing v1.17 and the issue went away. When I put v1.18 back in, it came back.
Eagerly awaiting v1.19!

Where would one look to find this? A screen shot on this wiki page would be supremely useful ...
