Please forget the previous message. After reading more carefully the docs,
I realized these two points:
- findbugs works on bytecode, not on source,
- findbugs must analyze the whole program, not individual classes.

So, IMHO, it is a nonsense to integrate it in the suggestions view of Tasklist.

But, anyway, it would be nice to have a NetBeans module for this tool.
