Class PluginLoader

java.lang.Object
edu.umd.cs.findbugs.PluginLoader

public class PluginLoader extends Object
Loader for a FindBugs plugin. A plugin is a jar file containing two metadata files, "findbugs.xml" and "messages.xml". Those files specify
  • the bug pattern Detector classes,
  • the bug patterns detected (including all text for displaying detected instances of those patterns), and
  • the "bug codes" which group together related bug instances

The PluginLoader creates a Plugin object to store the Detector factories and metadata.
