Can't make findbugs work on a Maven Build.

Hello, Vitor,

Do you mean that there is no "Code inspection" tab present for the build?
Could you please attach the target/findbugs.xml.

"Do you mean that there is no "Code inspection" tab present for the build?"

Yeap. I tried with PMD, and it worked well.

"Could you please attach the target/findbugs.xml"

I attached an edited version without the name of classes and code. (I couldn't attach otherwise... :/)

I think the problem has to do with the configuration of the path to FindBugs installation. I tried many things, but nothing changed.

Vitor,

The problem seems to be in FindBugs version 1.2.1 that you are using. It's quite old. Our plugin supports FindBugs 1.3.8 and newer.
Please consider updating FindBugs.

I changed that, but nothing happened :(

i tried to run online scanner for version 1.3.8 and got a liitle bit different report format - <buginstance> isn't wrapped in <file>. you can run http://findbugs.cs.umd.edu/demo/jnlp/findbugs.jnlp against your code, exprot result and put it directly in the buildagent working directory. Then try to import to check is it ok.

Vitor,

The attached report doesn't match the supported schema (we got bugcollection.xsd schema from FindBugs sources).
BTW The report that Alexander attched matches it.

Actually Maven generates a different kind of report in xdoc format (see Examples section at http://mojo.codehaus.org/findbugs-maven-plugin/)
But you can configure it to generate pure FindBugs xml (see http://mojo.codehaus.org/findbugs-maven-plugin/usage.html)

Let me know if facing any problems.

Alexander,

Your report absolutely matches the scheme supported in TeamCity.

Yeah, this made the trick. I didn't realize that Maven was generating a different kind of report... Thank you (all) very much! :)
