What is the correct "Find Bug" update site to be used as an Eclipse plugin
I want to use Find Bug as a static code checking tool for Java programs. I am trying to use the Find Bug plugin in Eclipse. I mean the installation details of the eclipse plugin mentioned on the official FindBug site for finding FindBugs . But when I try to use any of the sites mentioned to update, I get the following network error:
Network connection problems encountered during search.
Unable to access "http://findbugs.cs.umd.edu/eclipse".
Error parsing site stream. [Premature end of file.]
Premature end of file.
Error parsing site stream. [Premature end of file.]
Premature end of file.
Does anyone have an idea on which correct url to use? or if I am missing something else? Or I need to check other settings in eclipse. Eclipse Version: Version: 3.3.1.1

It looks broken. Really thrown. I had to install the plugin manually.
A different version can be downloaded from the SourceForge page of the FindBugs project

You can still use this update site. My company includes it in their certified popular SDC package that we build quarterly.
I've seen issues with update sites where a corporate firewall blocks access and doesn't give you a good answer.
If you go to site.xml in a browser and don't return a valid XML file, your firewall is most likely to blame.
