FindBugs is a program to find bugs in Java programs. It looks for instances of "bug patterns" - code instances that are likely to be errors. The FindBugs distribution consists of a stand-alone Java application and an ANT task. In order to find bugs, you have to use either of them. Developers using the Eclipse platform must leave their environment and start either of the above mentioned programs in order to check their code for bugs. This is quite annyoing and decreases the acceptance for a tool like FindBugs. The FindBugs plugin is a plugin for Eclipse. It seamlessly integrates FindBugs into the Eclipse platform. A bug check is performed when the user save or compile their code. This way, they gain immediate feedback on the code they just wrote.
