title: Installation of FindBugs plugin with Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers
body: <p>I'm struggling to get the Eclipse FindBugs plugin to work and am sure there's a schoolboy error being made somewhere.</p>
  
  <p>I extracted the file <a href="http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/findbugs/findbugs-2.0.2-rc2.zip?download" rel="noreferrer">findbugs-2.0.2-rc2.zip</a>  to a local folder <strong>C:\Program Files\findbugs-2.0.2-rc2</strong> and running <strong>findbugs.bat</strong>, FindBugs works fine running it over a local Java (Eclipse) project.</p>
  
  <p>I added the <a href="http://findbugs.cs.umd.edu/eclipse" rel="noreferrer" title="FindBugs update site">FindBugs update site</a>, it found "FindBugs Feature, 2.0.1.20120712" and installed it. Restarting, right-clicking on an open Java Project doesn't display the "FindBugs" option (that <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AJjwsuESno&amp;feature=youtu.be&amp;hd=1" rel="noreferrer">this video</a> shows).</p>
  
  <p>I looked in <strong>Window > Preferences</strong> to try to find a way to inform the plugin of the local FindBugs installation (in Program Files), but couldn't find anything.</p>
  
  <p>Uninstalling "FindBug Feature", I tried extracting the FindBugs Eclipse plugin <a href="http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/findbugs/edu.umd.cs.findbugs.plugin.eclipse_2.0.2.20121204.zip?download" rel="noreferrer">zip file</a> into Eclipse's plugins folder, but after a restart, saw no difference.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Help > About Eclipse > Installation Details > Installed Software</strong> lists "FindBugs Feature 2.0.1.20120712".</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone please offer a pointer on where I'm going wrong here? Thanks!</p>
