#323 1.1.2-rcX findbugs.home not being correctly picked up in ant

[David Corley]

Though findbugs 1.1.1 works perfectly, findbugs 1.1.2-rcX (tested rc4 + rc6) comes back with a findbugs.home not set correctly error message from the ant task.

The only change I made was to point my findbugs.home directory from the 1.1.1 release to the 1.1.2-rcx release.

Same for me - worked fine in 1.1.0, now 1.1.2 complains about "findbugs.home not being set". I have included the JARs and the plugin to my CVS module which also acts as my Findbugs home - that has worked fine so far. But not anymore in 1.1.2, even if I point it to the real Findbugs home! Here's my Ant 1.6.2 output:

Fixed in source repository; will be fixed in 1.1.3-rc1.

Also made sure ant task is tested as part of our smoketest.
