Annotations for FindBugs (mostly deprecated except for SuppressFBWarnings). This annotations are mostly deprecated and replaced by JSR 305 annotations defined in javax.annotation. The annotations still actively supported are:

• SuppressFBWarnings for suppressing FindBugs warnings
• Annotations about expected/unexpected warnings in FindBugs regression tests
  • ExpectWarning Warnings expected to be generated
  • NoWarning Warnings that should not be generated
  • DesireWarning Warnings we wish to generated
  • DesireNoWarning Warnings we wish to not generate generated

There are another set of annotations used by an experimental detector for unclosed resources:

• CleanupObligation
• CreatesObligation
• DischargesObligation
