disable Find bugs in maven

Question

The team are using find bugs. I would like to skip using find bugs.

I can see it has an option maven.findbugs.enable,but I don't know how to use that as an argument to maven.

I have tried - Dmaven.findbugs.enable=false but I can see find bugs is still running.

What is the argument to stop findbugs?

Did you try using -Dfindbugs.skip=true? gleclaire.github.io/findbugs-maven-plugin/check-mojo.html#skip – Jylland

The only mention of the maven.findbugs.enable parameter date from the 1.4 version from 2007 ! maven-plugins.sourceforge.net/maven-findbugs-plugin/… What version are you using? – Offend

@halfer hi. you've made 8 comments against me in 10 mins... did I upset you? I meant see in this case – Puritanical

@bharal: you have not upset me at all, no - comments are usually a good thing. (If I point out a typographical error, please fix it, so that the question is in a readable condition for future readers. I have fixed it on this occasion). – Blimey

(Ah, I think the messages you have received are edit notifications - I didn't think I had commented that number of times. Obviously, post improvements are good to receive too.) – Blimey

Both -Dfindbugs.skip=true, -Dfindbugs.skip didn't work for me. I wanted to use it as a workaround for the issue #53676571, but I got the error anyway: Unable to parse configuration of mojo org.codehaus.mojo:findbugs-maven-plugin:3.0.3:findbugs for parameter pluginArtifacts: Cannot assign configuration entry 'pluginArtifacts' with value '${plugin.artifacts}' of type java.util.Collections.UnmodifiableRandomAccessList to property of type java.util.ArrayList – Compensation

Answer 1

If you are using FindBugs 3.x:

mvn [goal] -Dfindbugs.skip=true

According to the FindBugs documentation. This should work for the check and findbugs goals.

Or shortened version: mvn [goal] -Dfindbugs.skip – Sensorium

Answer 2

Although unrelated to this question, Spotbugs is the successor of Findbugs and to skip it we need to pass the below flag:

-Dspotbugs.skip=true

Answer 3

Run the following for maven version 3.0.5 and above.

mvn [goal] -Dfindbugs.skip

Answer 4

Although the above answers work, I found that this error disappeared for me when I downgraded from Java 11 to Java 8. For reference, I am using Maven version 3.3.9.
