FindBugs: How can I run it in Java 5 mode?

When I run FindBugs on my project via Maven, I get lots of these:

Can't use annotations when running in JDK 1.4 mode!

How do I fix that? Couldn't find anything in the manual.

Solution

  • I believe you are missing the targetJdk element in the plugin configuration, like in below snippet.

       <reporting>
     <plugins>
       <plugin>
        <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
        <artifactId>findbugs-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.0.1</version>
        <configuration>
          <targetJdk>1.5</targetJdk>
        </configuration>
       </plugin>
     </plugins>
   </reporting>
