Hi,
I use eclipse ide (4.8 photon) and I would like to install the spotbug plugin.
but I get this error message "No repository found at url spotbugs.github.io/eclipse"
and this another message : This is Eclipse Plugin Update Site for SpotBugs Eclipse Plugin. Use this URL to install plugin with the Eclipse Update Manager.
Plugin ID com.github.spotbugs.plugin.eclipse
Version 4.7.3.r202210170504-fa9e53a
I didn't manage to install the plugin. I also tried without success with Eclipse 4.16 (2020-06),
I don't understand how others do it.
Please, could you help me,

Same procedure like with any other update site / plugin.
Help -> Install New Software ... -> Work with -> https://spotbugs.github.io/eclipse/ -> Check "SpotBugs" -> Next -> Next -> Accept License -> Finish.

Thank you for your help Andrey,
It works very well on my personal pc (my difficulty to install at work must be due to a special configuration),
Wishing you a great year ahead !
M2E-Connector for SpotBugs plugin?
Submitted by Prem Shankar on Sun, 2017-10-29 03:51
Is there a m2e connector for Spotbugs plugin like we have m2e connector for Findbugs plugin? As I am using Eclipse Oxygen, I can't install FindBugs plugin.
Great plug-in, a must have for every Java dev!!

This plug-in helped me solve many known and unknown bugs. It tells you exactly in what conditions the bug occurs, on which line it occurs and how to fix it. Just great!
A great tool, support for Eclipse Photon?
Submitted by Marko Zajc on Mon, 2017-10-02 07:22
This tool worked just great in Oxygen 1, but the RV_RETURN_VALUE_IGNORED_INFERRED detector does no longer work in Eclipse Photon. Is there a way to solve it other than using Oxygen instead?
Solved

I solved the issue, it was a detector configuration mistake!
A "must have" tool for every Java developer
Submitted by Andrey Loskutov on Sun, 2017-07-02 03:51
You use JUnit to test your code? You perform code reviews?
If yes, then here is the tool which will find test failures and review issues even before you build your application - just as you type. If not, here is the tool which (in few minutes) will give you the proof, that your code is not worth to be deployed at all, and a good reason to start testing your application and to review your code.
SpotBugs works similar to the Java compiler: as soon as you hit CTRL+S, Eclipse will compile the code and start incremental bug analysis. SpotBugs can find an amazing number of different bug patterns, which are sometimes hard to debug or to reproduce. SpotBugs has a very small number of false positives. Even if you think that the code will never run in the highlighted issue, in many cases the tool open your eyes on "dirty" places in your code.
SpotBugs is valuable for both beginner and experienced programmers. If you just start to write Java applications, the tool will help you to learn better programming practices by explaining you the reasons why the code should be written in a different way. SpotBugs helps experienced developers to keep the code clean and to review other's code by simply running the analysis over the Java projects.
SpotBugs uses unique bytecode scanning techniques to analyze compiled Java code. In most cases the critical and medium severity bugs found by SpotBugs are real, serious programming errors, and not just coding style issues. This is the main differentiator to other similar tools like PMD and Checkstyle (both are source-code analyzer).
I cannot imagine to seriously develop Java software without SpotBugs Eclipse plugin anymore. For those who knows Ant , Maven, Hudson or Jenkins: of course, they also have plugins for SpotBugs, so that you can use same tool as in your IDE to analyze your software during automated tests.
