We recently added FindBugs to our build and test process, but we’ve run into problems building when we are using the @SuppressWarning annotation.
More interestingly, the code will compile on our three developer laptops, but not on our build system, even though the code is the same and the Java compiler in use is the same (1.5.0_22 – 32 bit).
Here is the problem: We have a project, HCSBeans, that depends on another project, CommonLibrary. CommonLibrary uses @SuppressWarning once, while HCSBeans does not. CommonLibrary builds on our laptops and the build system, but HCSBeans does not build on the build system. At this point I cannot find a difference between the build system and my laptop.
Here is the verbose Ant output from the build system (note: we are not using Maven):

Other than the compile error, I don’t see any difference.
Other things worth noting:
- Deleting and rechecking out the source code for both projects
from SVN. - Comparing the versions of Java. Both are 32-bit Java 1.5.0_22. I know that is old, but we have customers who insist upon it.
- There is only one reference to @SuppressWarning in CommonLibrary and none in HCSBeans.
- We use annotations.jar and jsr305.jar when building the CommonLibrary, but they are not packaged with it and not referenced by HCSBeans. They should not be necessary after the build.
- Our laptops are 64-bit while the build system is 32-bit, but both Java installs are 32-bit.
- All computers are MS Windows.
Update
I switched the build server to compile HCSBean with Java 1.6 and the code compiles (after removing an unused import to SwingUtilities2), but if I switch it back to Java 1.5 it still fails with the same error. I’m beginning to suspect a problem with the Java 1.5 compiler.
Update 2
Well a co-worker found the actual difference. Not sure why it is occurring, but here is the difference between the resulting builds. On our laptops, the CommonLibrary.jar MANIFEST.MF file contains this line:
Class-Path: lib/annotations.jar lib/jsr305.jar
This means that building the HCSBeans project, it finds the annotations.jar file it needs. However, this Class-Path line is not present when we build on the build server. Not sure why, but that is the next line of investigation.
So we found the problem. Our laptops, having NetBeans installed (even if we weren’t building directly from NetBeans) were using the CopyLibs to build the jar file, which added the needed line to the Manifest.MF file:
However, our build server, not having NetBeans installed was using j2seproject1:jar to build the jar file.
The solution was to add this to the -D Javac properties when building on our build server (which is Hudson, for those interested):
Now both our laptops and the build server are using CopyLibs and they both compile.
Yikes! What a mess to figure out.
Thanks for those who gave me pointers along the way ( @Peter-Eliot & @Disco3 ).
