Are you using a maven job? Here the first findbugs goal is picked up.

Workaround: use the freestyle project.

Yes I am using a maven job and we need the possibilities of it.

Is there no way to fetch more than one goal or just take the result of a findbugs goal instead of check?

No, currently it runs for the first goal that has the text findbugs in it. Maybe you can change your check configuration to something like in JENKINS-29414?

I don't see the difference, but my plan as workaround will be to change the execution order of the jenkins profile. It should execute the findbugs goal at first and after it the check goal.

From the source code I see that only the goal findbugs or site should match:
https://github.com/jenkinsci/findbugs-plugin/blob/master/plugin/src/main/java/hudson/plugins/findbugs/FindBugsReporter.java#L199

What exactly are your maven goals?

Yes you are right it should cover my goals. But the second time it isn't executed.

Here the jenkins output:

Ah, but the first goal is also called 'findbugs'! I thought the first goal is called 'check'? Seems that your check goal already starts the 'findbugs' goal internally! Then it will not work: the plug-in always uses the result of the first invokation of the 'findbugs' goal.

I have copied too less output. Before the first findbugs there is the check goal. And yes internally findbugs is called by check.

Is there no way to instruct the plugin to use more than one file for the result?

No this is not possible with the maven findbugs reporter.

I need to get rid of this project type, there are so many issues with this type. Maybe it is possible to enable both variants for maven jobs.

Alright in this case I have solved it like here JENKINS-28746 .

I have changed the phases of the different exceutions to be sure that the non breaker execution is executed at first.

What would be the advantage to support only freetype? There are some plugins which are limited to maven projects, which can't be used together without creating an own analysis job in jenkins.

I don't want to remove maven support. I just want to remove the special handling of maven projects. Currently I have two classes, one for maven, one for freestyle. In the future I would merge these classes (or delete the maven class).

This is how the warnings plug-in works: just one class for both project types. From the user perspective there is almost no difference.

Disadvantages:
1) I can't (yet) read information from the pom. So you need to specify the filename pattern manually in the configuration section.
2) The findbugs plug-in shows up in the post build actions...

I'm trying to consolidate the requirements for the static analysis suite in pipeline jobs in a wiki page. Can you please read it carefully and comment or change it accordingly?

Released in 5.0.0-beta2.
