We have configured findbugs for all our enterprise projects by configuring it in a parent pom which all projects include. This settings for the <excludeFilterFile> which resides in a build tools jar which findbugs leverages. We're following the configuration outlined here: http://mojo.codehaus.org/findbugs-maven-plugin/examples/multi-module-config.html Ideally, the Findbugs extension would just run mvn findbugs:findbugs and leverage the generated target/findbugs.xml file.
