Plugins for build tools to enable incremental static analysis based on SpotBugs

Incremental Analysis Maven Plugin

This Maven Plugin helps developers to run static analysis only for updated codes. Designed to use in incremental build, like pre-merge build and local build.

How to use

Refer this plugin's project documentation for detail.

Known problems

• No support for checkstyle, PMD and other tools.
• No support for other programming languages.
• This plugin does not ensure that the target branch has no potential bugs. It is possible to merge buggy code in several cases:
  1. You added @CheckForNull to a method defined in interface. Then SpotBugs may find potential bug in its implementation, but it cannot be found by incremental analysis because it scans updated classes only.
  2. You added @CheckForNull to a method. Then SpotBugs may find potential bug in its caller, but it cannot be found by incremental analysis because it scans updated classes only.
