[ JDK VERSION : 1.7.0_21 ] The "Test for circular dependencies among classes" hint extended description doesn't have a working web link, unlike other refactorings, which anchor to the according entry in http://findbugs.sourceforge.net/bugDescriptions.html (where, among other things, the identifying strings are listed, such as "SE_BAD_FIELD", "DM_EXIT", etc.).
So, if I understand it properly, this bug is about the description for that bug pattern missing on the third-party site, is that right? I have filled this for that: https://sourceforge.net/p/findbugs/bugs/1190/
Hi Jan, the issue is actually that when you select that bug in the inspector window, you don't get the clickable hyperlink that other bugs have
Created attachment 136098 [details] Inspector window with the class circularity warning
Well, the description definitely has the link for me, see the above screenshot. The link leads to: http://findbugs.sourceforge.net/bugDescriptions.html#CD_CIRCULAR_DEPENDENCY I the link is not there for you, I need precise steps how to reproduce. Thanks.
Oops, that's right, the link is there, I remembered incorrectly (I filled in the bug report hastily from a note I had on my desk...) So yes, it's just CD_CIRCULAR_DEPENDENCY missing from FindBugs web content. Thanks and sorry for the false positive
