The project FindBugs stopped and was replaced by SpotBugs years ago.

I am working on integration of the new plugin+extensions, but I decided that fixes (at least most of them) should go first. It will take some time, but we will get there.

We don't use FindBugs any more on any stage of development of the project. Existing exclusions files could be used with the new plugin, but it seems to me that better would be to simply abandon them and try to avoid them as much as possible. Also - in a new configuration I use just one exclusion file for the whole repository - it seems it is better practice to have "exceptions" on a single place and review these exceptions much more often than anyone did with files in around 70 submodules.
