Comparison of FindBugs plugins for IntelliJ IDEA
Hi, I'm a part-time FindBugs developer and long-time IDEA user. I recently wrote up a comparison of the three (countem 3!) FindBugs plugins for IDEA:
http://code.google.com/p/findbugs/wiki/IntellijFindBugsPlugins
For those of you who don't have time to read the whole thing, here was my final summary:
| QAPlug-FindBugs | FindBugs | FindBugs-IDEA | |
| Ease of use | Good | Good | Cluttered, buggy |
| Integration / L&F | Great | Poor | Great |
| Bug information | Great | Poor | Great |
| Result filtering | Some filters | Poor | Lots of filters |
| Analysis scope | Lots of options | Only project/module | Lots of options |
| Configuration | Detectors, analysis | Analysis only | Detectors, analysis |
| Custom FindBugs | No | No | No |
| Analysis progress | Great | None | Great |
| Runs in background | No | Yes | Yes |
| Load/save analysis | No | No | No (broken) |
My general impression is that the QAPlug plugin provides a great user experience at the cost of configurability. FindBugs-IDEA is great in the opposite way - very configurable but a bit cluttered and buggy.
Would love to hear your thoughts on FindBugs integration and any comments on my reviews.
