Findbugs performs static analysis for the Java byte-code to identify software bugs. By providing early feedback about certain (potential) errors in the coding it helps the developer to quickly identify problems in his coding.
Use the update manager to install Findbugs from the Findbugs Update Site http://findbugs.cs.umd.edu/eclipse .
Please see Eclipse Update Manager for more information on how to use the update manager.
After installing findbugs you can activate findbugs for your project via the properties of your project and select FindBugs -> Run FindBugs automatically.
