I haven't been able to run FindBugs on a project or groups of projects. Maybe it should be part of Inspect and Transform?

The find bug is part of Inspect feature (Source -> Inspect)
It will ask do download additional plugin if it is not downloaded yet.
Comment 3 Petr Somol 2012-09-14 07:21:13 UTC 
Now we have Source->Inspect dialog that gather inspect-only functionality
and then we have another dialog Refactor->Inspect&Transform that gathers inspect functionality that has accompanying transformation actions. FindBugs is now accessible from Source->Inspect only as it does not provide transformations.

Actually from UEX point of view I would vote for making things easier to discover. This does not need to disrupt the distinction above. In my view ideally there would be just one dialog gathering all inspect or inspect&transform actions, but capable of being opened with pre-selected sets of operations. In this way from Source->Inspect it would be opened so that only inspect-only actions would be preselected. But if the user decided, she could change the selection in the dialog. Similarly, from Refactor->Inspect&Transform only those inspections that have a transformation action would be pre-selected. But again users would have the chance to change mind and include also the inspect-only inspections in the same dialog. This would IMHO almost certainly make life easier to users.
