Findbugs and Maven 3.x

Question

Has anyone managed to get findbugs 2.3.1, 2.3.2-SNAPSHOT or 2.4-SNAPSHOT to work with a Maven 3.x project?

I always end up with:

As I said in the comment you should use findbugs version 2.3.2-SNAPSHOT with Maven 3. I started a project with using maven-quickstart-archetype and executed mvn findbugs:findbugs and the reports are generated successfully without any problems.

[INFO] ****** FindBugsMojo execute *******

The following is the my pom.xml.

    4.0.0

    com.dummy
    dummy
    1.0-SNAPSHOT
    jar

            http://snapshots.repository.codehaus.org
        
    

    
        
            junit
            junit

            test
        
    
    
        
            
                org.codehaus.mojo
                findbugs-maven-plugin

BTW you are right it is not working with 2.3.1 but I did not try 2.4-SNAPSHOT.
