Missing Classes for findbugs analysis: makeConcatWithConstants, toPredicate and get

[Meinolf-S]

Issue Description

When using Sonarqube 7.9.5 (LTS) or 8.8.0 joing the latest configured findbug 4.0.3 plugin we get the following messages in the log output:

The following classes needed for analysis were missing: makeConcatWithConstants toPredicate get

The messages only appear when install findbugs 4.0.3 in sonarqube (the same also for older versions of findbugs)

Environment

Component	Version
Maven	3.6.3
Java	Adopt jdk-11.0.9.101-hotspot
Sonarqube	7.9.5 (LTS) also 8.8.0
sonar-maven-plugin	3.9.0.2155
Findbugs	4.0.3 Plugin in Sonarqube
FindSecBugs	1.11.0

Code (If needed)

The project code is a Spring Boot Java project joining Angular + Rest.

Hello, This seems to be an issue in Spotbugs (which is used internally by the SonarQube Spotbugs plugin). A similar issue was reported in the Spotbugs project: https://github.com/spotbugs/spotbugs/issues/1680

This is a due to https://github.com/spotbugs/spotbugs/issues/527, I guess.

Also reported here (so an issue in FindSecBugs?) https://github.com/find-sec-bugs/find-sec-bugs/issues/692

I don't have find-sec-bugs and neither I have spotbugs installed on the Sonar instance. I've got the following error:

Findbugs was renamed Spotbugs but the sonar plugin remained "sonar-findbugs-plugin" for compatibility, so you do have Spotbugs installed, that plugin also comes with its own plugins (find-sec-bugs and fb-contrib).

I see. I checked that our previous Sonar setup did not use that plugin. The Sonar version was Community EditionVersion 9.8 (build 63668) and there was no findbugs nor spotbugs so it's highly likely that this plugin is causing the issue in our new Sonar.

Since I don't have full access to new Sonar server, is it possible to turn off this plugin somehow via sonar-project.properties or during a sonarqube execution? Am I right that this behavior can cause a build error?

This message is a simple warning, it wouldn't cause a build error
