[hibernate-dev] FindBugs Community Review of Hibernate

Hello, I am a PhD student working with the FindBugs project, at the University of Maryland. FindBugs <http://findbugs.sourceforge.net/> is a popular open source static analysis tool that can analyze Java software and identify bugs. We recently analyzed *Hibernate*, and identified about 59 warnings that might be of interest to the project. You can launch an instance of FindBugs and evaluate each warning using this link (requires Java): http://findbugs.cs.umd.edu/cloud/hibernate.jnlp FindBugs has recently started a community review of several open source projects. This is similar to a recently completed review <http://findbugs.sourceforge.net/> at Google in which almost 300 engineers reviewed thousands of issues, fixing many of them. I would like to invite you all to participate in the review for Hibernate, and other open source projects. During the review, you are able to comment on each warning and evaluate it as "Must Fix", "Mostly Harmless", "Not a Bug" and other classifications. We are particularly interested in learning if any warnings are causing problems in production. The list of projects currently included in our review is at http://findbugs.cs.umd.edu/cloud/ Thanks in advance for your consideration. Kind regards, Nat Ayewah PhD candidate, University of Maryland http://www.cs.umd.edu/~ayewah ayewah(a)cs.umd.edu
