Created attachment 132961 [details] Re-install of findbugs java version "1.7.0_17" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_17-b02) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.7-b01, mixed mode) I installed the findbugs module without any error messages or problems. The IDE did not request a restart or anything special. I tried to use the inspect->findbugs afterwards, but there was no such category. I tried to uninstall the module, but it was not listed as installed. When trying to install it again, it was neither there. I deleted the files I believe to be belonging to the module from my ~/.netbeans/7.3/{config,var} directories and restarted Netbeans. I could now select the module for installation again. I installed it again, but to the same effect: No findbugs category in "inspect" nor was it listed as installed module. I attach the logfile from the last session.
Side note: I use maven as build system. I have added findbugs as plugin to the build (as this is required with jacoco for coverage), but no change.
How did you try to install the module? Through Source/Inspect or through Tools/Plugins? I just tried to install FindBugs to NB 7.3 both using Source/Inspect dialog and using Tools/Options, and the FindBugs configuration option was present in the Source/Inspect dialog - could you please attach a screenshot of the Source/Inspect dialog with expanded Configuration combo? Thanks.
I used the plugin center (tool/plugins, search for "findb" in available plugins) where the plugin was listed as supported. I verfied it on another machine, same effect here. BTW: The copyright/license was empty when I had to acknowledge it, but I am unsure if that is important. will add a screenshot.
Created attachment 133058 [details] Inspect and transform dialog not showing findbugs
Created attachment 133059 [details] Findbugs plugin not shown in "installed plugins" after install Uninstall of the findbugs plugin is impossible if not listed as installed plugin.
Whoops... "Source->Inspect" instead of "inspect and transform" dialog looks similar on the first approach but they are different. Sorry, my fault. The findbugs inspection is there if I use "source->inspect". I am so used to access the utilities from right-click on the project... Nevertheless, uninstall of the plugin is not possible.
Created attachment 133060 [details] Source inspect actually showing findbugs plugin correctly
The FindBugs is only in Source/Inspect, sorry (things in Inspect&Transform must have transformations/automated fixes, and there are none for FB). Regarding the Plugins dialog, I believe it is only showing "top-level" features, to see smaller units (like FB), please use Show Details.
