Best way to add detection of a specific bug to spotbugs?

[Romain-Telecom]

As part of my internship, my job is to make spotbugs capable of detecting a specific bug pattern my tutor has found, what would be the best way to go about it?

I've thought of building my own extension like fb-contrib, but I would first like to know if there is another way.

building your own extension is likely the easiest answer.

Here we have document for plug-in developers.

Thank you very much, I've begun writing my own detectors and have had some success :)
