I am using the following link to create an ant script to run findbugs on a web application:
Chapter 6. Using the FindBugs™ Ant task
I am setting the auxClasspath parameter to my jars folder.
But when i run the task using ant findbugs from the command prompt, it takes a very long time(~45 minutes) and the output xml contains analysis of the jars in the auxClasspath as well as my source code.
I want only my source code to be analyzed.
This is the code in my build.xml:
<taskdef name="findbugs" classname="edu.umd.cs.findbugs.anttask.FindBugsTask"/>
<property name="findbugs.home" value="C:/Software/FindBugs" />
<target name="findbugs" >
<echo message="Finding Bugs From ${basedir}/src/java"/>
<findbugs home="${findbugs.home}"
output="xml:withMessages"
outputFile="${basedir}\findbugs.xml"
stylesheet="fancy-hist.xsl"
timeout="6000000"
jvmargs="-Xmx1200m">
<auxClasspath path="${basedir}/Jars/*.jar" />
<sourcePath path="${basedir}/src/java"/>
<class location="${basedir}/build/myApp-1.0.jar" />
</findbugs>
</target>
I have added findbugs-ant.jar to lib of my ant installation.
The findbugs directory exists.
Other information:
IDE: Netbeans 7.3
OS: Microsoft Windows XP
Ant Version: 1.8.4
Find Bugs Version: 2.0.2
Update
If i leave out this line:
<auxClasspath path="${basedir}/Jars/*.jar" />
I get my desired output(i.e. analysis of only my source code).
But it raises a warning:
[findbugs] The following classes needed for analysis were missing:
[findbugs] javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet
[findbugs] javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequestWrapper
[list continues]....
Any idea, why find bugs is analyzing jars which it should not analyze(according to the documentation)
