FindBugs Does Not Show Up in Project Properties

Question

I had just installed FindBugs plugin for Eclipse. My Eclipse is Juno. I am using Windows 7.

It shows up at Help -> about Eclipse -> Installed Software as FindBugs Feature

However it does not exist on Project Properties.

I had tried to run eclipse as Administrator, installing from either marketplace or manual.

But no luck.

I use a copied Eclipse (without installation) at Desktop.

Any thought on how to shows the FindBugs in project properties?

Thanks

Answer 1

All other answers (installing latest Java, Eclipse update, adding '-vm ...' to the .ini-file did not work for me. I solved it by clicking "Window"->"Perspective"->"Open Perspective"->"Other..."->"FindBugs".

Then switch back to 'Java'-perspective. Now the menu is available when you right-click the project.

Just in case you haven't figured out yet, and so it might help others like me. If you are installing a version of Eclipse FindBugs 3.0 or greater, then it's only supported on Java 7. Update your JDK to 7.0 and you will see Findbugs show up as a part of your properties. Wasted a lot of hours on this one.
