Log Tool generates class names that violate FindBugs standard rules ------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: LOGTOOL-81 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/LOGTOOL-81 Project: Log Tool Issue Type: Bug Environment: OS X Mavericks, Java 1.7 Reporter: Tom Cunningham Assignee: James Perkins Log Tool generates class names like : ./api/target/generated-sources/annotations/org/switchyard/APILogger_$logger.java ./validate/target/generated-sources/annotations/org/switchyard/validate/ValidateMessages_$bundle.java When I run findbugs, my project isn't clean anymore because of these generated classes - findbugs complains that these classes do not start with a capital letter. It looks like this violates the NM_CLASS_NAMING_CONVENTION rule. From Findbugs website : Class names should be nouns, in mixed case with the first letter of each internal word capitalized. Try to keep your class names simple and descriptive. Use whole words-avoid acronyms and abbreviations (unless the abbreviation is much more widely used than the long form, such as URL or HTML). http://findbugs.sourceforge.net/bugDescriptions.html I can probably work around this by providing FindBugs exceptions for "_$logger" and "_$bundle", but it might be good practice if the first letter were upper cased in the generated class (i.e. "_$Logger" and "_$Bundle" .
