Findbugs XML report missing rank

This might help you You'd better use the SonarQube Eclipse plugin, this will bring you the following advantages:

wish of those help It's better to create an XML first. XML contains all the necessary information and can be translated to whatever you need using some non-trivial command lines.
For example, assuming you have analysisResult.xml to produce txt report use

This might help you There is an answer by David Harkness which explains it pretty well, partly cited below. I also checked the SpotBugs code. SpotBugs is FindBugs' successor. In short:
Type - This is just the name of the BugPattern which was found. Category - The category is for grouping BugPatterns, hardcoded in FindBugs. For example, RANGE_ARRAY_INDEX will always fall in the CORRECTNESS category (and it's reported by the DumbMethods detector). Rank - Rank is the result of complex calculations, can vary, and indicates the severity of the found bug. It varies from 20 (lowest) to 1 (highest), and the UI groups the values into four categories: scariest, scary, troubling, and of concern. (Harkness) So, a certain NullPointerException might get a 1, and a potential performance improvement might just get a 12. Priority - Also a calculated value which varies. It indicates the confidence that the found bug is actually a bug. FindBugs employs heuristics which may go wrong. It varies from 1 (highest confidence) to 5 (lowest confidence, to be disregarded). For a long time now, priority has been renamed confidence in order to make this clearer. The XML still says priority for compatibility reasons.

I hope this helps . I am using FindBugs (version 1.3.9) Eclipse Plugin. I run findbugs and saved findings in XML file. I need to generate HTML Report of the XML report. , I am using something like this as command line:

Any of those help Perhaps http://code.google.com/p/findbugs/source/browse/trunk/findbugs/etc/bugrank.txt but I don't know if it is exhaustive (FindBugs Bug Descriptions has more entries).
