Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-24841:
------------------------------------
Given this plugin is also on the Eclipse Marketplace, do we REALLY want it in Central?
https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/spotbugs-eclipse-plugin
Or can we just expect that users will find it there? Asking because I'm not a customer
or a findbugs/spotbugs user, so I don't know if any users/customers care about this.
Looking at GA data for the last 8 months, I see about 1000 installs via Central.
That's 0.03% of all installs via Central for that period.
So... maybe we just want to remove FindBugs, not replace it?

Remove findbugs plugin from Central
-----------------------------------
Key: JBIDE-24841
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-24841
Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Bug
Components: central-update, target-platform, updatesite, upstream
Affects Versions: 4.5.0.Final
Reporter: Martin Malina
Assignee: Nick Boldt
Fix For: 4.5.1.AM2
I suggest we remove FindBugs connector from Central. It seems it hasn't been
developed for some time now. The version we have in central is:
edu.umd.cs.findbugs.plugin.eclipse_3.0.1.20150306-5afe4d1
And if you look at the project's update site, that's still the latest release
there is:
http://findbugs.cs.umd.edu/eclipse/
Furthermore, it kind of broke for me now. I never tested it extensively. But I would
create a project and then right-click -> Find Bugs -> Find Bugs. This would open a
window showing progress as the project is searched for bugs. When I tried it now, no
window appears. For a few seconds something shows up in the status bar. But I can't
see the results anywhere.
Since this is Central, we could do this right away - affecting devstudio 11 / jbosstools
4.5.0. But I guess we need PM approval first.
