filter files in FindBugs Eclipse plugin

Is anyone actively working on supporting filters in the Eclipse plugin  
for findbugs?  In my experience, this is the most significant workflow  
issue with the plugin in actual development.

I can see a Filters section in the latest version of the FindBugs plugin.

What I would really really really love would be an easier way to control
the individual detectors.

This is what normally happens to me :

step1: once every 6 months I decide to run FindBugs over my codebase
step2: So I fire it up, and there about a billion errors of various
types that I really don't care about
step3:
  repeat {
     pick a warning I don't care about
     scroll through list of detectors trying find it about 4 times,
     because the warning text and the detector descriptions are only
vaguely correlated.
  } until_headache_forms;
step4: give up and go home for a beer

Enerjy has a nice solution - every single warning has a number of the
form "JAVA-0010" which is present at the start of the warning message in
both the configuration screen and the problems view.

Regards, Noel.
