6.0.0-beta.1 (2023-08-13)

Features

• rewrite the implementation into Kotlin (#924) (bcf4706)

BREAKING CHANGES

• This plugin has been rewritten in Kotlin, and it may break the binary compatibility of public API. Intentional changes are listed as follows:

Changes for Groovy buildscripts

About effort and reportLevel properties of SpotBugsTask and SpotBugsExtension, Groovy buildscripts should use use valueOf(String) method explicitly. This limitation is caused by a known issue of the Groovy language:

// before (v5)
spotbugs {
    effort = 'default'
    reportLevel = 'default'
}

// after (v6)
spotbugs {
    effort = Effort.valueOf('DEFAULT')
    reportLevel = Confidence.valueOf('DEFAULT')
}

Changes for Kotlin buildscripts

It is recommended to use Gradle 8.2 or later, then you can enjoy the simple property assignment feature by default:

// legacy (Gradle 8.1 and older)
import com.github.spotbugs.snom.Confidence
import com.github.spotbugs.snom.Effort

spotbugs {
    effort.set(Effort.DEFAULT)
    reportLevel.set(Confidence.DEFAULT)
}

// new (Gradle 8.2 and later)
import com.github.spotbugs.snom.Confidence
import com.github.spotbugs.snom.Effort

spotbugs {
    effort = Effort.DEFAULT
    reportLevel = Confidence.DEFAULT
}

It is also possible to use string values, however, it is not recommended due to lack of type-safety:

// new (Gradle 8.2 and later)
import com.github.spotbugs.snom.assign

spotbugs {
    effort = "DEFAULT"
    reportLevel = "DEFAULT"
}
