Feedback wanted: patch to eliminate need for findbugs/findbugs.bat scripts
by David Hovemeyer-3

Rate this Message:
Hi everyone,
As you probably know, FindBugs is launched by a Bourne shell script or a Windows batch file. The only reason the script and batch file exist is as a convenience - they can infer the directory in which FindBugs is installed, and ensure that any detector in the "plugin" directory plugins (including third-party or user-implemented plugins) get loaded. For a variety of reasons, it would be nice for FindBugs to be able to launch directly from a jar file. Some of the reasons include: - "play nice" as a part of a pure-Java ecosystem - modularity (see FindBugs feature request #1995284) - double-click on a jar file, have FindBugs launch and do something useful out of the box - ease of debugging FindBugs - the script has some annoying bugs in it (and I assume the batch file does as well) Here is a preliminary, proof-of-concept patch to make this happen: http://faculty.ycp.edu/~dhovemey/findbugs-noscript.patch This patch is against the latest development code at http://code.google.com/p/findbugs/ The patch allows you to do things like java -jar $FINDBUGS_HOME/lib/findbugs.jar -project myProj.fbp [launch the command line interface] java -jar $FINDBUGS_HOME/lib/findbugsGUI.jar [launch the GUI] and have things work (hopefully) as expected. Note that if you have plugins you want loaded, all you have to do is add -Dfindbugs.home="$FINDBUGS_HOME" to the java command line. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. -Dave _______________________________________________ Findbugs-discuss mailing list Findbugs-discuss@... https://mailman.cs.umd.edu/mailman/listinfo/findbugs-discuss |

We run FindBugs via Maven or the Eclipse plugin, so your proposal should not affect us. However, I like your proposal :-). -----Original Message----- From: findbugs-discuss-bounces@...

Java Version with 1.3.4

Rate this Message:
The site says that JRE 1.4 is the minimum requirement but I'm getting errors indicating that JRE 1.5 is the requirement. I am currently trying to use the ANT task but noticed that the JVM argument is not accessible. Has anyone had success running 1.3.4 Ant task in Java 1.4? _______________________________________________ Findbugs-discuss mailing list Findbugs-discuss@... https://mailman.cs.umd.edu/mailman/listinfo/findbugs-discuss |

I am in a similar situation as Jeff since I use and maintain the Maven
2 Findbugs plugin.
I do see the merit of this. It may even help with the latest function I am adding to launch FindBugs GUI from Maven and have it configured for the Maven project within my POM. Regards, Garvin LeClaire garvin.leclaire@... Jeff Jensen wrote:

1.3.4 requires JRE 1.5.
If you can let us know which parts of the website and documentation still list 1.4 as the requirement, please let us know. 1.5 has been required for a while, but we haven't quite gotten to updating all of the references. -Dave On Thu, Jul 3, 2008 at 1:50 PM, <david.cate@...> wrote: > > The site says that JRE 1.4 is the minimum requirement but I'm getting errors > indicating that JRE 1.5 is the requirement.

The latest development code at code.google.com builds a single jar file (findbugs.jar) with the core engine, detectors, and GUI. A system property. findbugs.launchUI, selects among the different UIs. So, to launch the textui: java -Dfindbugs.launchUI=textui -jar $FINDBUGS_HOME/lib/findbugs.jar To launch the GUI: java -Dfindbugs.launchUI=gui2 -jar $FINDBUGS_HOME/lib/findbugs.jar java -jar $FINDBUGS_HOME/lib/findbugs.jar [The second command works because running the GUI is the default behavior.] Anyway, feedback is appreciated. -Dave _______________________________________________ Findbugs-discuss mailing list Findbugs-discuss@... https://mailman.cs.umd.edu/mailman/listinfo/findbugs-discuss |
