FindBugs gives an error and creates an empty HTML report

[Inventitech]

Does anybody else get the same problem when executing mvn site?

Yes, I have the same problem, and I don't see an easy solution on the web.

I propose to drop the findbugs dependency from the pom.xml -- and also do this for the jpacman-template project. (findbugs is nice to have if it works, but not a must have, and in this case it causes confusion).

It works fine on my machines. Using maven 3.0.5 (I know) and 3.1.1. An alternative might be the Findbugs plugin for Eclipse.

It might be related to the JDK version. I'm running Java 8, and get this problem.

Thus switching to Eclipse won't help either. My suggestion remains to drop findbugs for now.
