findbugs and IDV 1.2

Hi all, I'm not really an IDV developer, more of a very interested party in the use and future of IDV, and a software engineer primarily and not a meteorologist. 
I have been playing with findbugs, a sourceforge hosted application 
which statically scans java .class files (and archives) looking for 
potential bugs.  Its beta quality but very promising.  I ran the latest 
cvs snapshot on the idv.jar from IDV 1.2 (the latest officially released 
findbugs, version 0.9.1, hangs on IDV??) and found 274 potential 
problems in the "Correctness" category, which to me is the category 
which will uncover most real problems.  Findbugs takes about 30 mins to 
learn so this could easily be replicated by the 'real IDV dev team'. 
With Ant integration is can even become a build process component.



I thought this would be worth bringing to light.  I think IDV is a great 
product, don't me wrong.  I'm shifting my effort to making my data IDV 
readable (which is essence is converting to CF convention Netcdf files), 
as I can see that so much work has gone into IDV.

I hope this is of value.

Stuart
